Hey, so I have a bunch of items that won't install, saying they're not compatible with my device. Thing is, they were all installed prior to my doing a reset. I just needed to get a fresh clean start after lots of testing stuff cluttered things.

OK so here are things to note: I'm using a Moto g stylus 5g 2023 (XT2315-1) genenv. Android 13. I have TWRP setup as my recovery, and I'm rooted with Magisk which is up to date.

I did not make any upgrades or downgrades of Android, I simple reset. Most things are working fine, but just some APKs won't install.

It is possible that I had previously had an LSposed (Xposed variant) module installed which dealt with this; all it is, is an arbitrary minAPI designation but in no way actually has a compatibility problem. But try as I might, I don't remember specifically installing a module to resolve this. Rather, I suspect perhaps it was dealt with inadvertently by something I happened to install. ¿maybe?

If anyone knows the solution to this, I'd be much-preesh.

I know that "this app isn't compatible with your phone" error message is something I noticed often after upgrading to a phone that does not support 32-bit apps. Considering you seem to have not upgraded your phone or anything, that is unlikely the exact cause here. But I figured I would bring that up in case that thought of 32-bit incompatibility helps lead you in the right direction.

As I said everything is the same. I just reset using the Android reset. I tried using an advanced installer app and it claimed it was a Split apk - which it is not. That can happen if it doesn't recognize the problem, it just throws up whatever is first in line.

Very weird shit. Its actually more than one app having this problem. I'll figure it out eventually.
