This is just a question, it isn't really a reflection of what I want to do but I'm just curious: how would you hack or mod a mobile app? I hear people constantly talking about hackers in Clash of Clans or other play to win games to get an edge on the other players but when I look up methods to do so all I find are malware downloads for fake hacking tools.
Does it involve modifying the APK in some way?
It may. Alternatively you could write a program which runs alongside the app, capturing the data which it's about to send to a server and modifying it first. This way the app thinks you're following the "rules" but the server reacts to the data it receives, which may make it misbehave. This is effectively what one guy did with Dominoes to make the server believe that his payment was authenticated despite never actually going through.
Bonus points if you can see the very easy way to outsmart such a hack.

Clash of Clans is server based changing the apk won't do shit.

Interesting. So would writing this program be pretty complex, or would it be simple if you had fairly decent knowledge of programming language?

It would be simple to write, but moderately difficult to reach the level of competence where one would know what to write.
