I'm sorry I can't speak or type English well
I want to write an application for people who do not know programming and allow them to build a simple application without even a single line of code.
After a series of tasks by the user in my application (in the last step), it is necessary to create an APK file of the application created by the user with the push of a button. And while all this is happening inside the Android phone
Now the question is: is it possible for the user, to create an APK file through an application on an Android phone?
If I still did not convey my meaning well, forgive me and thank you for the time you spent for me.

This idea won't creake an "APK" for each app the user creates, but it may be something that you might like...
The below is an in-app interpreter/script builder/runner that allows users to "create" programs (scripts) that run in the interpreter:

So, when the user completes the series of tasks in your app, your app will then write the generated interpreter "scripts" to a file. These scripts are basically the users "app"
Then you would make a "runtime" APK that simply includes the above interpreter and it will load these "script" files and run them.
This way the runtime APK stays the same so you won't have to generate a different APK for each user app. But this runtime APK will seem like a different app when it loads in different generated user scripts written by your app.
I hope this makes sense.
