Description

None yet.
**Problem**
Executables in APKs are supported but there are a number of gotchas (the biggest being that if your binary is not named `lib*.so` it won't be installed by packagemanager). We should document the things people need to know to use these, and also recommend simpler alternatives.

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no documentation file or test. Start with the linked Google issue and the existing Android NDK documentation; document executable APK behavior, the lib*.so naming and package-manager limitation, known workarounds, and simpler alternatives.
