Sure, but this doesn't really scale very well. Distributing those APKs without internet access is pretty hard.

Briar already has this built in via the "Share this app offline" feature. It starts a wifi hotspot from which people can download the apk.

Also Fdroid has support for local distribution and discovery for offline scenarios.
