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.
My keyboard (Minuum) targets Marshmallow 😭
Then you are fine. Marshmallow, API level 23, is the minimum. This would be a problem if it targeted API 22 or lower.

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
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.
