Does CodeQL work with JADX decompiled android apk code

[sachint2001]

Hi, as the title says, does CodeQL work with JADX decompiled android apk code? I don't think this decompiled code is directly recompilable, and nor do I think it comes with an autobuild configuration file.

When trying to create the database for it, I keep getting this error:
CodeQL detected code written in Java/Kotlin but could not process any of it.

If anyone has found out if it works, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @sachint2001,

Officially this is not supported, but have you tried creating a database with build-mode none?
If that does work, expect the analysis capabilities to be severely hampered by loss of information.

As a reminder, this is not allowed under the default license found at codeql.github.com unless this is for academic research purposes.
