Fire HD 8 2018 8th gen: can't install GPlay because of INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK

[PieBru]

Hi, I'm on Arch Linux, adb and FT are working and debloat cleaned a lot my good old Fire HD 8 2018. GPlay seems installed OK, but I'm not able to login to gplay because the other apk(m) didn't install, giving INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK error.

Here is the (almost) full console log:

Can I try something else?

Thank you, Piero

The issue is your Fire tablet is running Android 7.1 but this tool is made with android 8+ in mind

You can either update your tablet or install compatible split apks. If you don't wish to update download the linked apks and put them into the Batch folder, then run the Batch Installer function in Fire-Tools.

Compatible Split APKs:
