Comment (by eighthave):

 In my experience, it is generally a lot smoother to do these kinds of file
 management activities before everything gets packaged into the APK.  There
 are lots of little hacks in the final packaging steps to support
 zipaligning, zeroing out timestamps, v1 signatures and v2/v3 signatures,
 etc.  So by manipulating the APK, it'll make all those steps harder to
 deal with.

 For example, this could be done by a gradle Task that is called after
 compile or maybe as the first step of packaging.
