does Ghidra work for APK files, it would be cool if it also worked with mobile projects.

Yes it does work with APKs.

Well, it should. It kept having issues with the only APK I had on hand, but when I just pulled some DEX files out and loaded them it handled them just fine (including decompilation)

Direct APK doesn't work at the moment (I've tried with 3 apks), just unzip it and work with the DEX file.
