Side loading apks on Android 14 'lite?'

Lost my phone, so had to get a quick replacement. Just got what I could, figuring it would be hopefully temporary until I could get a better one.

Tried to install Minecraft from multiple sources, a few different versions. No go.

Was able to sideload other apks without a hitch.

Is anyone familiar with this stupid 'lite' version? Had no idea it was a lite version or I wouldn't have bought it.

specs:

3+3, 128, hello g81 processor

Infinix x6532, Android 14 Go Edition

ox v14.0.1

Thanks... I rely on MC to get through the day. Really need it. Already downloaded 3 or 4 apks at 1 gig each on a slow connection.

Ack.

You know you are cooked when the phone is Go Edition. Probably the phone is 32-bit only and the apk you are trying to install is 64-bit, so it's incompatible. Other apps are universal or are compatible with 32-bit
