Can i make it more times for diferent files?

Yes you can, you should do it one by one, i e. download a file, after it has been downloaded successfully, then download the next, etc.

Check if the app already is installed, and only if not, then install it

i made it in the first block if exist open, else download apk and run installer, this process is ok, the problem is on this moment, after install, the selected app, start installer for the another apps downloaded previous.

the strange is when i click on DO IT te result is this:

Do It Result: “/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/io.makeroid.companion/files/apps/youcine/youcine.apk” (this is correct)

Do It Result: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/io.makeroid.companion/files/apps/youtube.apk

for every files do it on the join block show the correct path and the second result youtube .apk
