From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am using this myself in Android app, where you can write files only inside /data/data/your.app.id/

So naturally, if you want to publish a different app, your.app.id will be different, so you need to recompile all your Linux tools that you bundle inside your app.

If you are not running your Linux tools on Android, you'd probably be better off using Docker or a chroot.
