As title says apk is treated as zip ,even tho apk has it own mime type.

So annoying! Please follow the instructions at https://github.com/overview/mime-types/blob/main/DEVELOP.md -- ping the shared-mime-info folks.

Alternatively, you can generate a mime.cache file. Edit extra-mime-info.xml and then run rebuild-mime-cache.sh. Unfortunately, the mime.cache is presently built in to this package's .jar file. I'd love to see a patch that adds support for user-supplied mime.cache files. I've outlined what the patch should look like in #5.

Closing this issue: DEVELOP.md describes one path to getting the mime type detected, and #5 shows another. I've learned my lesson already: I won't override the XDG shared-mime-info database in this repo.

@adamhooper that is a good idea. I might put it on my list to try a PR if I can carve out time but no promises. Thanks for all your effort on this project!

I just tested here ... any file with a name like x.apk (i.e., ending in .apk) will be detected as "application/vnd.android.package-archive". This has probably been the case for the entire lifetime of this repository.
