Starting in Android 14 you will have to use ADB to install any APK targeting lower than API Level 23 (Android 6): https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-changes-all#minimum-target-api-level https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-cha... Obviously expect that boundary to ratchet up with time, plus the single point of failure if they ever decide to remove `--bypass-low-target-sdk-block` from the dev tools.

android 6 runs on phones dating back to 2013. Thats 10 years ago, and only 5 years after the very first iPhone (2007) 6 was a milestone, because it was the first to actually feature restricted app access to contacts/microphone/camera. facebook, twitter, linkedin and a load of others (especially facebook games) got where they are from stealing everyones contacts via that method and then spamming them with adverts. TF those days are behind us.

  Justify your e-waste any way you want. I still use my old Kitkat phone offline for MP3+OBD in my car, and it still gets brand-new versions of the apps I like: https://krosbits.in/musicolet/ https://krosbits.in/musicolet/
