You see this with some apps (I think ReVanced is a popular example?) and games occasionally, and I've never been clear on how they do it.

Thanks for the response, and the link! It's interesting info, and good pointers to look to some of the existing tools from your OS and/or hardware providers for getting a start into whatever you're working on.

I think I might have made the mistake of thinking they wouldn't be available and only bothering to look till after trying a lot of other indirect methods, so it's a good reminder to check for any available official tooling and then supplement them with others where needed.
