Can Android read a .ipa? Or is it illiterate?

Can Linux (natively) read a .exe? Or is it illiterate?

Can Windows read a .app bundle? Or is it illiterate?

Objdump can read .exe files:

  $ objdump -f rufus.exe

  rufus.exe:     file format pei-i386
  architecture: i386, flags 0x00000103:
  HAS_RELOC, EXEC_P, D_PAGED
  start address 0x007cfe70

Edit: Windows can list the contents of a macOS .app as a directory, as they are little more than that

Fun fact: Windows executables have a COFF header which is straight from ancient versions of UNIX.
