Hey, so I have a bunch of items that won’t install, saying they’re not compatible with my device. Thing is, they were all installed prior to my doing a reset. I just needed to get a fresh clean start after lots of testing stuff cluttered things.

OK so here are things to note: I’m using a Moto g stylus 5g 2023 (XT2315-1) genenv. Android 13. I have TWRP setup as my recovery, and I’m rooted with Magisk which is up to date.

I did not make any upgrades or downgrades of Android, I simple reset. Most things are working fine, but just some APKs won’t install.

It is possible that I had previously had an LSposed (Xposed variant) module installed which dealt with this; all it is, is an arbitrary minAPI designation but in no way actually has a compatibility problem. But try as I might, I don’t remember specifically installing a module to resolve this. Rather, I suspect perhaps it was dealt with inadvertently by something I happened to install. ¿maybe?

If anyone knows the solution to this, I’d be much-preesh.

    Based on your comments, maybe it’s because you have root and or unlocked bootloader. Android play store would not allow me to install animal crossing, it would give me the same error as you. Once I updated to a non root image, I was able to install the game. It’s also possible the app you are truing to install is 32-bit.

      Not installing from Play store! Yes rooted, yes, unlocked bootloader and TWRP. And it was this way before, too, when it worked fine. I really don’t think Play store or services are involved at all. I even disabled them. No change.

        I mean could be that you disabled it. And could new android version (even minor update). I never thought it would block me from installing an app on my pixel phone, but it did and I was only able to install the app once I removed root. Again, that worked before, but not this time.
