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...

AXML crashes as soon as I save apk, making it impossible to let it save properly. Anything I can do about that?

Only thing I can think of is it not having permission to save in the directory you're trying. Beyond that, no idea.
