.apk files and .ipa files are secretly zip files too. With the addition of a few manifest files and other crufty things embedded in the zip, I bet you could add Android and iOS to the list of supported platforms too.

I've recently succeeded in building working .apk files byte-by-byte completely from scratch so I could maybe help some. Open an issue on https://github.com/akavel/hellomello if interested in some talking/advice and/or watch my talk on NimConf 2020 for an overview (I don't have a link handy as I'm on mobile).
Jars, rpms, whls, Microsoft Office, probably a bunch of other stuff I don’t even know about are actually zip files.
.epubs too!
