I'm glad the adb flag is still an option, I had to use it to install the app for my ebike wheel which is the only way to adjust the assist level / Regen brake strength. Maybe eventually I'll try rewriting the app but I just don't have time.
So with adb I should still be able to install old apps? Also is there a way to back up my apps without root, since there's been some old apps that stopped showing up even for ones I bought when I tried to download them on newer phones.
Yep they give the command in the article but to install an APK, all you have to do is plug into a computer that has the APK downloaded and use adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block appname.apk
I used it on android 14 and it looks like it'll also work on 15
Until someone with a better way responds, you can copy files to your PC with the adb pull command. Here adb is a terminal command you run on your PC. App data files are mostly in /data/data/packagename on the phone.

But it wasn't updated since 2017. Still works though.
The easiest way I've found without root or ADB is to use Solid Explorer. Well worth the cost.
I select the APK I want and copy it to a different directory. Extremely painless.
I have solid Explorer so this is perfect. Thank you.
