I think Play is finally not allowing installation of apps that target old Android versions, sorry. No updates coming. You can still side-load the .apk from github |

Hello all.
On some phones we started to get "This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android" error when pop up shown on app to download Barcode Scanner from Play Store.
Based on my research it looks like Barcode Scanner (ZXing Team) will not be available anymore for any new users (as far as I understand any user who has not downloaded it before). This is because app was not updated in last 2 years and it does not target latest API (in last 2 years).
Notification from Google:
Starting from 1 Nov 2022, apps that don't target an API level within two years of the latest Android release (API 29 and below) won't be available to new users with devices running Android versions newer than your app's target API level. This means that new users won't be able to discover or install your app on Google Play
Will this app be updated on Play store or is this app RIP?
