A binary committed to a repository is served through GitHub's raw file path, which a phone browser refuses or saves under the wrong name. Release assets are served as real downloads.

The Release workflow builds and attaches the APK for every tag, and GitHub generates the source zip and tarball automatically, so the Releases page carries everything.

Verified against v1.0.0:

A binary committed to a repository is served through GitHub's raw file path,
which a phone browser refuses or saves under the wrong name. Release assets
are served as real downloads with the correct MIME type and filename.

The Release workflow builds and attaches the APK for every tag, and GitHub
generates the source zip and tarball automatically, so the Releases page now
carries everything a user needs. Verified against v1.0.0:

  discount-hunter-1.0.0.apk  HTTP 200, application/vnd.android.package-archive,
    attachment; filename=discount-hunter-1.0.0.apk, 2.87 MB
  Source code (zip)          HTTP 200, application/zip

The downloaded APK was installed on an emulator and launches with no crash.
