Been working all day on latest XC722 and included sports guide , for some reason i kept getting parser error when trying to install but only on Nvidia Shield , not any other devices ? i kid you not i have redone that fecking Moonlight app about 20 times,uploaded it ,downloaded and tried to install :) eventually found the culprit , Shield been updated to android 11 and apk editor only signs apks with v1 which is for android 9 and below , MT signs with V1 and V2 so works with android 11 , not seen anyone mention this but its sorted now :)

any other info on this subject please post below as it will be useful to others

If you open the app go to android manifest change the figures at the top for sdk so 31 change to 29 and 12 change to 10

So which one of these are you changing? Also will this work for smarters as well?

platformBuildVersionCode="31"
platformBuildVersionName="12"
android:versionCode="722"
android:versionName="5.0.1"
android:compileSdkVersion="23"
android:compileSdkVersionCodename="10">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="21"
android:targetSdkVersion="29" /

If you use apk editor pro then choose common edit then just change sdk version to 29 it should work then

Not sure if changing the sdk number will work as the app still has to be signed after any edits ? thats when its breaking if that makes sense its being signed with V1 which will not work with android 11 . Only solution i think is edit as normal with apk editor pro , sign it and save , then re sign with MT manager , not tested but been assured it will work

Personally think everyone should be moving away from apkeditor now and straight onto mtmanager much higher success rates with these latest apks and once you learn how to use it surprisingly super user friendly :)

I agree with Keeney above MT is the way forward so much more ,
So after doing a few test this morning , If you do edits with apk editor then sign the apk (it does this on exiting) it will not work on android 11
so first tried loading the apk (after its been edited in apk editor) into MT and re signing using V2 ...........still gives the parser error .
so then tried loading in the edited apk into MT and changing the Android manifest (see image below and yellow highlights)
changed 21 to 19 and 31 to 29
signed the apk on exit and it worked :)
XSuperdan mentioned this above and was bang on correct

JUST TO CLARIFY TO CHANGE THE SDK VERSION NUMBERS IT MUST BE DONE IN MT and not APK EDITOR

I do edit on apk Editor. Then sign on MT manager been doing it that way for months. But always switch to 29 if app doesn't have a logo then I know its sitting on target version 30

APK Tool works fine if you know how to use it ;), Iv managed to get it working on all apps iv used so far. If it doesnt work the error log normally tells you exactly what it doesnt like and a quick google fixes it :D

I am new with mt manager and I have seen tutorials and I have not been able to understand it, I extract the android manifest and save it and there is always an error, I have realized that it only decompiles 210 lines, it is normal, I am a free user of mt manager

i think you need mtmanager vip to decompile android manifest
