there may be no more update for Android reasons.

i have tried updating my copy of Luanti. i used github releases from pull requests, as those had specific fixes but not others so i could avoid the unwanted fixes (and bugs related to them).but now i wanted the official github release (5.15.2) as changelog said important security fixes. i could not update because of signature mismatch, so i tried Shizuku +InstallWithOptions, didn't help despite working before. i had to delete my copy of luanti, i did a backup, ofc including metrotest. i tried to push the backup into the new version's game files. for some reason Shizuku did not work despite working a while ago (maybe another hidden playservices update broke it(just the usual android things)) so this is what happened: i choose "move files". files moved partially, then copy stopped with 0kb/s, couldnt fix by itself. done this until i finished copying everything back. then i open Luanti and crashes down instantly. i figured this is permission issue, but for some reason Shizuku could not change the permissions. so i lost my backup and the game files became they got permission locked. i had to uninstall luanti and lose my progress of not just Metrotest but everything other game i played. i have a somewhat outdated copy on my tablet (i copyed the files into luanti's installer itself), if i somehow figure to get the files out, i could upload an outdated update of metrotest at least, but its android 14 so even shizuku cannot access app folders. i completely hate android.
i had a lot of progress in metrotest and would take a lot to do it all again.

i couldn't get the slightly older version out i had on my tablet. i got it on there by editing the apk file of luanti. i tried accessing the data folder through shizuku+mt2, as its the best app i know for similar purposes. mt2 couldn't access luanti's data folder even with shizuku, so it being different did not help. i tried renaming rhe android folder on a sh1tty chineese projector, so i could access it on my tablet, but the fkn projector formatted my sd card. now i understand why luanti devs hate android so much, and don't want to work with the android port.
