I downloaded an App from the playstore (I think).
The App is called "awesome text".
It simply displays a test widget on the home screen.

But apparently the app disappeared from the store.
I'd like to publish this app here and have a few questions:

1)
How do I pull an apk downloaded from playstore to my computer so that others can install AND use it?
Is it simply copying the apk?

2)
Is this traceable?
Is there some watermark added so it can be traced back to me?
How to remove?

ES File Explorer has such function:
Start it, slide from left, choose Library -> App -> check the desired app and make a backup.
Voila.

Actually you can do that manually if you are rooted
1. Have a file explorer that has root functions
2. Give that app root priviledge
3 Go to data/app on root directory (this is where the apk when you download on playstore stays): secured apps needs to be moved first to sd using titanium backup but this function is quite troublesome and may cause problems to noobs.

If you just want that text thingy I'm sure its there on data/app
