If you have permission, you can convert APK/DEX to Java source code using a decompiler and then try compiling the Java for a different platform. The danger is that dependencies might have different interfaces and be potentially time consuming to fix, so this approach could become a really big project. |
Ok but in my opinion it's all about marketing and not techical support or the ability to forward support. Google does ot worry about users beyond its ability to monitor, track and sell info to buyers.
