Is it safe to download and install Google Play from apkmirror.com? How can I check this is a safe download?
Backstory:
I had to factory reset my original Samsung Galaxy Tab as it refused to start up. After the reset, I haven't been able to update Google Play. Every time I try, it crashes with '(process com.android.vending) has stopped working'.
I've seen multiple references to the site, but nothing official from Google.
