How to pull apk without adb?

Question

I am working on an apk sharing app for which I need an apk of installed app, I checked this answer. which shows this command

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

But when I try this on terminal in android device it shows

/system/bin/sh: adb not found

Is there any alternative command or procedure to the same on android device terminal ?

I don't think this is possible without root access. – Murat Karagöz Jan 23 '17 at 14:16 — Murat Karagöz, Jan 23 '17 at 14:16
@MuratK. MyAppSharer for android does that without root. – Mustafa Bhatkar Jan 23 '17 at 14:22 — Mustafa Bhatkar, Jan 23 '17 at 14:22

Use MyAppSharer, or Xender or ShareIt from app store.

Personally I use MyAppSharer to extract any installed apk. Use Bluetooth option while extracting any app.

I am sorry for misinformation. But no where in your question, you have mentioned about MyAppSharer. May be you should provide more details. Also write some code that you have tried. – Mohammad Tauqir Jan 23 '17 at 14:39
