Universal library

Can Calibre be adapted for creation of APK libraries and software installation files? I have no coding experience, I wouldn't know where to start, but this could be a cool feature that would make Calibre a library that's adapted to modern user needs. Some features could be:
1. ability to recognise and sort APK and software versions
2. silent install for APK's
3. fetching playstore APK metadata

Anyone up to this?

Calibre it not limited to storing ebook files, it can store just about any file type. At least one person stores NC embroidery pattern files. But writing plugins to do the installs or fetching app store data might be a stretch. Most plugins are written by people who need them.

Have you looked at any of the x-platform app development frameworks, providing an app deployment facility seems more like their bailiwick.
