Help! Updating modded apks

[Marukonus]

How does one updated a modded APK by themselves if dev has disappeared? Libraries and other things need to be updated. Is it possible to do this yourself with tools?

You can fake update in AndroidManifest.xml changing androidVersionName and androidVersionCode to the latest one, if it works you can keep using the same mod on the latest version of the game

The library files are v7 in the mod, v8 in recent version. 1.7.18 vs 1.7.20. do I need to update those? Also do I need to resign?

I also need to change the package name so I can have both installed on same device. Does that screw everything else up?

Just a black screen. Mod menu loads though. Trying to find the error log

This is impossible without the mod menus source code project files which only the modder who created the mod apk has. Moving the mod to a new version requires the modder to update offsets etc.

Ugh.. so absolutely no work around?
