As the title says, a samsung tablet got updated, and now refuses to allow an older app that was working fine before the update to launch or do anything other than pop a toast saying it was built for an older android version.

While there are other app options, none are the right fit.

So, I’m hoping there’s a way to make the app work anyway. It’s the Swype keyboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: solved!

As [email protected] said, there is a version on xda that works, as long as you only need the basic language it comes with. There is a way to make the language packs work, but it is supposedly fiddly.

    That’s not on Samsung, but the app developers. Nuance killed it, eventually everyone else will move on and some stuff will break as SDKs change, permission models evolve, old API hooks get altered, and so on and so forth. I would suggest you move to a more modern, maintained, and open source option. Open board has a swipe fork and it’s actually part of the roadmap to merge the glide typing into the main project.
