It shouldn’t be too hard to work around that by either using dev tools to force the installation or by simply modifying the app to bump the required version number. It sucks that installing unmaintained apps is going to be more of a pain, but it’s far from impossible. Android’s internal backwards compatibility for this stuff is quite good.
I had a feeling you’d say that. It’s really not on the same level as all, but I think that’s more about me than the keyboard itself, as I’m just used to tapping in a vague area rather than have to focus on being more precise.
My keyboard (Minuum) targets Marshmallow 😭

Honestly, the app needs some loving anyway. I’m half hoping we end up getting the source code for it as a result of these changes
Then you are fine. Marshmallow, API level 23, is the minimum. This would be a problem if it targeted API 22 or lower.
FYI, Fleksy is up to date, free and uses a very similar concept.
Similar in which way?
In the idea that you can hit approximately the right key and it would correct to the one you intended.
