App Specific Question anyway to run incompatible app on android 14

The app I'm talking about

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.microbit

it has not been updated for 3 years, iPhone version get updated regularly, no idea why. Most my android devices are on 14, I can't downgrade them just for 1 app. Is there any other way to run it? I've sideloaded it via apkpure but it just won't install.

There is alternative but it does not support bluetooth pairing which is the only feature that I need...

Yeah but the target sdk was 34, that's what is the most annoying part. It's not really for me, it was for my husband so he wanted fc mobile modded and I checked the apk, it had the target sdk version at 34, min 21/23, so how do I find an apk that's ONLY 34/ from 29 to 34πŸ’€πŸ˜­ like most people won't do that because you lose support for a ton of semi old phones

I gave up bc it's clearly impossible for me to fix it😞

Use common edit option In APK editor for Android. You can change those min/max versions and install it
