Android studio - Run on phone, APK location?

Question

I run the app from android studio on my phone. Now im curious where i can find my apk on my phone.

I got countless answers on where to find the apk on the pc, but i want to know where it builds the apk on my phone.

`but i want to know where it builds the apk on my phone` , APK is build on PC, executes or Run on Mobile... — N J, Nov 14 '16 at 13:00
Unless your phone is rooted, you do not have ready access to the APK location through something like the Android Device Monitor. I think that you can use `PackageManager` to find out the path to the APK, though I forget the details. — CommonsWare, Nov 14 '16 at 13:03

You can pull the apk with adb, something like:

adb pull /data/app/com.example.someapp-2.apk path/to/desired/destination

You could run this commands on console to find it:

adb shell pm list packages # In order to find needed package name
adb shell pm path com.yourpackage # show where is apk for package

You can't find apk on the your android device.

But you can use application like a "LuckyPatcher" on the android phone. enter image description here

Click on your application in LuckyPatcher->choose instrument->create Backup. Application notify about save .apk file and file path.
