Android compatibility is insane!

Lots of games in Google Play Store are no longer possible to purchase because they are "incompatible with newer versions of Android".

Backwards compatibility is a double-edged sword. It's cool that you can run an apk from 10 years ago but there should be a point where you say that's enough and drop support from them. Looking at Windows.

Okay - who left the keyboard open to the kids?

Seriously, can we just stop the brand warefare? Just buy what you want. I’ve plenty of old apps that just work. The only real barrier was moving from 32 bits to 64, and that was like what…iOS 6 or 7?

If the devs update the app, then there’s no company issues. If they abandon it, that’s on them. Not sure what it is you’re actually arguing for.

This just isn't true; Android absolutely has version limits.

Android removed 32 bit support in the newest version. Maybe see what the compatibility is after that releases

This is funny considering Android 14 may be sunsetting support for 32-bit apps in favor of exclusive 64-bit apps, which will likely break a lot of backward compatability. Whoopsie doodles.

Lemmy is a clean slate. Let’s leave the Android/iOS butthurt shit on Reddit for as long as we can.
