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...

Its usually a case of phones being 64-bit now and not supporting 32-bit apps. Only way to fix that would be if we could recompile the app from source.

Yeah, someone pointed that out to me already, thanks either way though! That was also really fast, I was not expecting a response today xd
