Guys, you can easily just 'quick edit' the application with apktoolm and update the games version and build numbers, save it and reinstall it over old one.. and then bam, works just as before..
No root needed either..
But obviously its better to get the update from the modder when available. Don't forget that most modders, regardless of how amazing they all are, also have real lives.. just as we do.. but also these modders spend all their free time, supplying, updating or trying to mod games for us... (even the parasitic lurking leeches) for free, 94.7% of the time...
Thank you for this mod, and your dedication and generosity!
