All-in-One APK (App + Plugins) for Fire OS devices

Would it be possible to create an APK version for Fire OS devices that contains all of the free plugins already integrated into the application? The reason I ask is because when TC plugins are installed on Fire TV devices they show up as a separate installed application and continue running separately after TC has been closed. Installation of TC plugins on Fire TV devices results in a cluttered application bar because the TC application and each plugin all have individual application icon tiles and are treated as separate applications by the system instead of a single application plus functionality addons.

Unfortunately this would be very difficult to achieve, because all plugins use the same class names for the main plugin functions. 2 classes with the same name cannot reside within the same app.

Can't you move the plugins to a subfolder or hide them otherwise?

Fire TV OS doesn't support the use of folders or hiding applications, anything installed via apk will have a visible icon on the application bar and this includes any addons or plugins for installed apps.
