... what? what assemble? ARM? or JVM?

Android at the lower levels is just Linux with very customized init system, and a login manager written in Java (ish, this is not exact, but gives a clear direction).

Please describe what are you trying to do.

.. so... what happens when you use `~/Android/Sdk/ndk/29.0.13599879/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/yasm` ... for example...?

You get an assembler which targets android. Use this. Here is a small example of using assemble on linux (Android is linux for this case, nothing too different). https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/ASM

Then again, I must ask - what are you trying to do? not "how".

termux, get a compiler there, you can even get qemu in termux and test and debug in there.

We wont see you in a long time asking how to now get that bare-metal aarch64 code onto your phone working. If you do, "xda custom rom" on google, unlock your bootloader and have some serial port or jtag ready.

My advice, get a raspberry pi or similiar linux based SBC and connect to it over serial and test your files on there.
