03/12/2023, 1:38 PMBut the initial .class files shouldn't be that different? (not sure about that last part but I don't see a strong reason why)

03/12/2023, 1:43 PMAs i have heard that ummm most bytecode analysers need special support for android

The bytecode is a bit more complicated than smali. But both of them are very easy to learn, except that the JVM is a stack machine and ART is a register machine.
You can easily convert one to the other.
