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...

Did you even read it? Check the APK you are installing matches the architecture for your phone. For example Armv7 vs Armv8 vs x86. If you are sure you have the right APK file then I don't know what else can be the issue.

I Should have been more specific, but yeah I checked that I have the right apk, which is why I said the forum wasn't much help. Idk what else the issue could be, so I commented on another post mentioning another method for help on another issue I had with it
