Is there a question on the main site about taking automatic backup of Android apps whenever they are installed or updated? The backed up file should show the version code or version name of the corresponding apk.

I want to keep APKs of all the apps I ever update or install, so that I end up in a position to switch to whatever version I like without bothering to download a previous version of an app from some third-party site.

I know Titanium Backup can take backups but it does it periodically and I can't differentiate between versions.
 
@Firelord I'm not aware of one. Sounds like it could be interesting/useful though

I'm not aware of one either. @Izzy: you're a long-time user of TiBu? Do you know if it or any app in your repository allows taking backup of an app's APK only when it is installed or updated and do so in the manner discussed here?
And we have many apps available for this job, as listed here on Izzy's website. Why would anyone bother with Tasker now, if they can do the job without any hassle? :)

@Firelord AppMonster
Good quality, good support. I even happen to know its dev personally ;)
Nowadays, with root, AppMonster can even backup the app data along.
@Firelord Uh. Where did you get that old-style URL from? More than a year ago that I switched to a new naming scheme. Doesn't android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/… look much more intuitive? :)
 
@Izzy Yes, I came across an answer of yours from 2013 recommending the same app. The reviews for its Lollipop version doesn't inspire confidence through. :-)

@Firelord Ah. I cannot speak for Lollipop yet. Haven't even used the app since I went Kitkat (as TiBu keeps the .apk files as well).
 
There are still a lot of other candidates in that list :)
@Firelord Thanks, updated :)
 
Sure

Q: Can I ask for help with a particular Android game?

bgmCoderThere is a certain Android game that I really like, but I am stuck in a certain place. Can I ask for help with that game here?
