Convert DEX to APK

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert DEX to APK?
Yes - DEX converts to APK.

Not a file 'conversion' - a DEX is one component of an APK. You don't turn a .dex into an installable app; you build an APK that contains it (Android SDK / Gradle packages classes.dex into the APK along with the manifest, resources and signature). db lists dex→apk with software_count 0, correctly: no tool 'converts' it.

Also to APK: PY · AIR · AIA
