    It is my understanding that Google has chosen to make it difficult to install older applications on Android 14.

    I've read that the installation can be performed using the adb (Android Debug Bridge) command:

    adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block apk_name.apk
    

    See How to install old apps in Android 14?

    The above command requires that adb is installed on a personal computer, the Android device has developer mode enabled, and installation of unknown apps is enabled.

    I do not have an Android 14 device so perhaps you could try the above method of installing SolitiareCG-3.4.1.apk and report back?

    I'd love to help I have a Galaxy s24 Ultra and the only game I've ever had on any of my phones is this Solitaire game I'd even make a donation but if you need me to help you try to install it on my phone I'd be happy to do so but I may need you to reach out to me directly to guide me through it I'm pretty handy used to crack phones and stuff back when I had blackberries and even before that with the old Motorola flip phones but never bothered with the Android stuff because it all worked good enough and I could always be patient enough to just wait for the next updates but this one doesn't seems like it will happen soon enough so here I am to help if you need it

    Hello,
    After installing ADB on my computer, I had to :
    * Enable Developer mode on my Galaxy S24+
    * Enable USB debugging.
    Once done, I try adb command of Curtis and it works !

    C:\platforms-tools>adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block SolitaireCG-3.4.1.apk
    Performing Streamed Install
    Success
    

    Thanks Curtis for your help.

      Sorry but I don't even know what ADB is I haven't messed around with phone
      software in at least a decade but I'm a pretty capable guy I just don't
      know about how things are working now and I'm not sure what your
      instructions are referring to I see the C prompt with the follows it but I
      don't understand what it's trying to do and how to apply it

    ADB = Android Debug Bridge is a tool for using android device with PC, like install APK to Android device with a PC. More information: https://developer.android.com/tools/adb

    do you think you would have time to walk me through it on a phone call possibly?

    I'm not sure if this is exactly an Android version problem.

    I have a Google Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS that has Android version 14. The Pixel 8 doesn't support 32 bit apps.

    The error that I get when trying to install SolitaireCG is the same as when I try to install other 32 bit only apps, "App not installed as app isn't compatible with your phone."

    I've tried to install via F-Droid and via an APK downloaded from SourceForge.

    I believe the Pixel 8 needs a universal app that supports arm64-v8a or an arm64-v8a version of the app.

      Nevermind. The adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block worked for me.

      Thanks for that command. Now, I have to check some of the apps that I couldn't install previously to see if they work on my new phone.

          I was having the same difficulties trying to get this to work on my new phone. I used the step-by-step process here: https://liliputing.com/how-to-install-old-apps-on-android-14/ and was able to get it installed and running. It took a few tries installing as the computer and phone kept disconnecting, but it worked.
