Unable to install 1.19.1 release on Android #16669

Open sidkumararaja opened 3 weeks ago

Description

Trying to install the stable 1.19.1 APK on Android - I'm getting the error 'This app was built for an older version of Android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections'. I have tried using the aarch64 APK as well. I'm on a Pixel 7, running Android 14. I got the binaries from buildbot. What's weird is that the 1.17.0 version worked fine. I uninstalled it to install the newer version.

Expected behavior

Retroarch installs successfully.

Actual behavior

Retroarch fails to install due to unsupported OS version.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Download official APK binary.
  2. Install using Android file manager (permissions enabled for external apps)

Hey there. I thought I had this issue as well, but it seemed to just be a recent security update on my Android device. Clicking "OK" causes the device to say that the app was not installed. However, clicking "More Info" allowed me to click "Run Anyway" or something to that effect instead of "OK"
