Note that this was while pointing to prod APK.

We need to do the same as Rob Hudson did for the reviewer tools, extract the token and then pass it through the install path. cc'ing so Rob can fill in the blanks.

Ideally if a developer was doing this, they should be using the reviewer APK instance and not the production one. What they should really be doing is downloading the zip, using the CLI to make a zip or something.

There's enough going on here that we aren't sure what the correct answer is and a few other things need to land.

This is a bit of an edge case, so could we just disable the install button in this case until we've got a better plan?

Going onto repoman so we can just remove that button so people won't click on it.
