I've done all the possible tests, I've recompiled the APK removing the version limitation so it could be installed on my phones with Android 12, but internally it uses Android 13 APIs and it's impossible to make it work on Android 12...

It’s simply a bad decision, which, as always, no one will fix, and users will end up using another AI that does work on all devices, and then they’ll wonder why they’re being abandoned...
