    Android eventually locks out apps designed for older APIs. I remember reading about a bunch of abandoned apps being dropped from the Play Store for that reason. Not sure if that’s just the Play Store though or if it is the Android OS itself. I haven’t ever kept a phone beyond the manufacturer providing security updates since I actually use my phone for secure things.

      You have to enable developer mode and install with --bypass-low-target-sdk-block now.

      Dunno if they’ll remove that eventually
