can not install ZXING via PlayStore on Android 13

[Nico]

Hello,

I tried to install the App via PlayStore.

It's not possible: "The App is not available for your Device. It's build for an older Version of Android"

Is it possible to rebuild the App for newer Android versions?

Thanks

Nico

I think it finally won't install on newer devices due to Play Store policy changes. Sorry. You can side load the .apk from github

Hi Sean,

Zxing barcode scanner has been my chosen barcode scanner ever since I started using Android - it's a shame it is no longer available for install. Could you elaborate as to what Play Store policy changes are preventing updates/changes/installs?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Sean, first and foremost thank you for such a great project!

I've used this project as an apk in the past and it was fantastic but I can't install from the google store and you mentioned side loading from github but on your last release I only see two source assets (I downloaded it and they're just that source code).

Do you have the APK somewhere on here and I'm just not seeing it?

There haven't been new app builds in a long time. The last one is here: https://github.com/zxing/zxing/releases/tag/BS-4.7.8

Ah ok that explains it I tried to build it myself as I build my own project (but I use Gradle) and when I did I received a lot of errors and after several tries just hoped someone had an apk I could use.  I no longer maintain my own project publicly but my spouse and I use it ourselves and this was a key part of it's use for us.  (I recently changed the target api to 23 and it was enough to install and function on my pixel 8 pro)

Thank you
