With Context.createPackageContext, you can use the CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY flag along with CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE to load the code in the apk. You will then need to do your own security checks, which is probably making sure that the .apk you are loading is signed with the same certificate as your own. Yup, you do need to be careful here to avoid creating security bugs.
Btw, about DexClassLoader, I think that approach is not recommended as the code you load will not be able to access the resources from its own apk. However, with Context.createPackageContext, since you are creating a Context, the code will have access to its resources.
