As the title says, a samsung tablet got updated, and now refuses to allow an older app that was working fine before the update (to one ui v6) to launch or do anything other than pop a toast saying it was built for an older android version.

While there are other app options, none are the right fit.

So, I’m hoping there’s a way to make the app work anyway. It’s the Swype keyboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: solved!

As [email protected] said, there is a version on xda that works, as long as you only need the basic language it comes with. There is a way to make the language packs work, but it is supposedly fiddly.

    There’s an app called Package Installer available on izzydroid fdroid repo. I haven’t found an uninstallable app on android 14 yet. But, someone had recommended it to bypass the restriction. It needs shizuku or root to perform installation.
