Is there an easy way to replace chaquopys runtime jar?

[zekrom567]

I'm investigating away to do modifications on the app.imy before the app is ran. So, I created a runtime.jar from chaquopy that unzips and replaces a string in my code to test

What kind of modifications? Is it for security or obfuscation purposes, or something else?

A mix of both but mostly for obfuscation purposes

In that case, you'd probably want to modify the code during the build, not at runtime. You can do that as follows:

• Store the original copy of your code in a different directory.
• In your build.gradle file, add an afterEvaluate block like this one, which copies the code to src/main/python while doing whatever obfuscation you want.

I've now added this to the obfuscation FAQ.
