Compatibility with new Google Android versions #1120

Description

@Korb

Currently the app page in F-Droid displays a warning when viewed on Google Android 14

This app was built for an older version of Android and cannot be updated automatically.

During installation, another warning appears:

This app was built for an older version of Android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections. Installing this app may put your device at risk. Learn more about Play Protect. [Install anyway]

I suggest you read the article "Meet Google Play's target API level requirement", which is primarily intended for Google Play users, but F-Droid users will also have difficulty finding, installing, and updating the app in situations where OS security requirements conflict with the user app.

Also, I recommend keeping in mind the changes coming in 2025.
