- `AndroidManifest.xml` can be found at `App_Resources/Android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`
- Java source files can be dropped in at `App_Resources/Android/src/main/java` after creating the proper package subdirectory structure
- Additional arbitrary assets can be dropped in at `App_Resources/Android/src/main/assets`
