Bypass Low Target SDK Block isn't appearing #13

Closed NikunjKhangwal closed 7 months ago

Exactly the title. For some reason this option isn't appearing in the app. I've tried older versions as well. I'm using magisk root to grant access.

Are you on Android 14?

NikunjKhangwal commented 7 months ago

Android 12

zacharee commented 7 months ago

The low target SDK block was only introduced in Android 14, so it's not going to show up in the app below that.

There are still restrictions in Android versions below 14. You can't install many old apks. Is there any way around that?

Which APKs can't you install?

NikunjKhangwal commented 7 months ago

Can't remember now, it happened a while back. What I'm referring to is, some outdated apps doesn't target the new android versions. Is there any way to implement something like this app automatically bump sdk of selected apks to match the device so compatibility issues can be minimized?

I agree. Should allow that option for all not just 14

zacharee commented 7 months ago

It doesn't exist below Android 14.

It doesn't exist below Android 14.

Is the feature i mentioned (making apk match sdk of device) or something similar possible? If it's not that's fine too, I'll be closing the issue.

zacharee commented 7 months ago

That would involve decompiling the APK and recompiling it, and would also probably break the app. The target SDK isn't just a number, it has major behavior and security changes associated with it.

Alright, fair enough. Thanks for the response
