Side loading apks on Android 14 'lite?'

[u/Individual-Iron-6370]

Lost my phone, so had to get a quick replacement. Just got what I could, figuring it would be hopefully temporary until I could get a better one.

Tried to install Minecraft from multiple sources, a few different versions. No go.

Was able to sideload other apks without a hitch.

Is anyone familiar with this stupid 'lite' version? Had no idea it was a lite version or I wouldn't have bought it.

specs:

3+3, 128, hello g81 processor

Infinix x6532, Android 14 Go Edition

ox v14.0.1

Thanks... I rely on MC to get through the day. Really need it. Already downloaded 3 or 4 apks at 1 gig each on a slow connection.

Ack.

(edit to add more info:)

Just found out that despite the processor being 64 bit the stupid manufacturer has dumbed it down to 32 bit. Working from that new info...

MediaTek Helio G81 (ARMv8.2-A octa-core CPU architecture: 2x Cortex-A75 @ 2.0 GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 @ 1.7 GHz)

XOS 14.0 powered by Android 14 (Go Edition)

If you ment by Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite then it won’t work since the APK is 32 bit than 64 bit
