Description
Not the right bug tracker, but we don't have a public buganizer component for the loader atm so filing this here for visibility.
`dlopen` will automatically search the app's install directory, but I don't think it will search within the APK. Given that it would be best for app developers to move toward loading libraries directly from the APK, we should make this as painless as possible.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the loader behavior around dlopen and APK search; the issue names no files or tests. Done means app developers can execute a native library directly from an APK with behavior comparable to loading it via dlopen, with the relevant behavior verified.
