So I got a bunch of really cheap tablets to repair and I got one of them to work. 2019 amazon kindles. I thought it would be recent enough to use for game dev, since I can get APKs working on shitty phones easily. Wrong. For some reason Amazon blocks tablets from using the app store every couple of years, and they cannot install fucking shit. There are blocks set in place to prevent them from downloading apps officially under new accounts to force people to buy the new tablets. Putting the APK on the tablet itself doesn't install even after editing the code to lower the requirements. The same APK can install on a 10 year old phone. The same fucking APK works on a 20 dollar phone from dollar general.

What the fuck is Amazon's problem?
