I was checking /system/app folder structure in Android L and realized that it has a new folder structure. It has introduced a new folder with APK name between app folder and the APK, e.g. /system/app/test/test.apk

If I want to install test.apk as a system app, how can I install it without installing it via "User app"? Can I just copy and paste test.apk from /sdcard to /system/app folder and give desired permission?

    Yes, do it and reboot as well. Done. Oh, don't give desired permission but the appropriate permission, which would be same as the rest of the APKs have. Commented Jan 6, 2016 at 8:10
