I think, best way.

• Just open another session (windows)..

BUT can I recursive-decompile on JADX?

APK files contained in another APK file are non-standard. Therefore in my opinion this is not a bug. Android will also not load or install such embedded APK files. Only by user created code you can make use of such embedded APK files.

Also Jadx is not prepared for loading multiple APKs at the same time if those APKs dosen't belong to one split-APK thus do not contain duplicate classes.

One possible way to extend Jadx-GUI could be if we detect an embedded ZIP file that we allow to extract it and open it using a new instance of Jadx-GUI or another system application that can handle ZIP files.

@jpstotz Hi there, Thanks for check it.

It looks like JADX already has this feature.
When you right-click with the mouse, there’s an “Export…” option. Could we use that as a replacement for this?
Or is there a way to make it a bit more convenient or more automated?
