DESCRIPTION:
At this moment, we have an obsolete solution for adding DRM (Digital rights management) modules to Android applications (Games).
However, it works well only for old Android versions (minSdkVersion: 8 and targetSdkVersion: 25).

The current process is:
- Decompile .apk via "apktool"
- Copy DRM Library .smali files and other assets into a folder with an unarchived build
- Adding required configuration in AndroidManifest.xml and other places in .smali files
- Compiling updated build via "apktool" plus signing it via "apk-signer" with our keys and password for authorization on the server
