The issue happens because this Squawker version was built with the latest stable Flutter version (3.19.5), which now lacks complete support of Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). (Flutter is the development platform used to create Squawker). I could build a special version compatible with Android 4.4.2 with the older stable Flutter version (3.16.9), which stills supports completely Android 4.4.2, that could be available on github. Do you install Squawker from an apk built on github?

I got it from GitHub, yes.

In the next published release, along with the Squawker apk files there will be the KitKat Squawker apk files built for older Android KitKat (Version 4.4.x).

There is a build of the APKs of Squawker v3.8.3 for Android KitKat (4.4.x) here.
