Inquiry on Feasibility: Creating Executable Snapshot of Application with Paparazzi

[VolodymyrMachekhin]

Hi Paparazzi Team,

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for the incredible work you've done with Paparazzi. It's been an invaluable tool in my projects.

I'm reaching out to discuss a potential feature that I believe could benefit not just me but others in the community. My goal is to take a snapshot of my application from outside the actual codebase. Specifically, I'm looking to create an executable (like a jar file) that includes the app's source code. The main function of this jar would be to process an input and record a snapshot of the application.

Here's what I've tried so far:

Creating a new source set in the application module.
Registering a task that includes the output of this source set in the jar.
However, I've encountered some compatibility issues with the Android Gradle plugin when defining a custom source set. While I believe this feature is theoretically feasible, I'm struggling to implement it, possibly due to gaps in my understanding or knowledge.

If this concept is compatible with Paparazzi's current capabilities or future direction, I would appreciate any insights on how it might be achievable, or if there are any existing workarounds that I could explore in the meantime.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
