Help converting ARM64 APK to ARM (for older phones)

I would like to get a quote from someone to convert an ARM64 APK to an ARM APK (which will work on older phones). *If this is even possible.

https://itechify.com/2016/07/13/identify-correct-architecture-for-android-apk-arm-arm64/

The APK that I need converted can be downloaded from here:

Video about the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVMqB4W_EH4

Or could someone point me to someone who may be interested, or where else to post this request please?

    CapCut makes video editing super fun and easy! The templates save so much time, and the effects always make my videos pop. I can’t imagine editing without it anymore!

    Super helpful thread — compatibility between ARM64 and older ARM devices can really limit who can run an app. I’ve run into similar issues while testing different builds for mobile-focused content projects. Making an APK work smoothly across older phones is definitely more complicated than it looks.

    While it’s not directly about APK conversion, here’s an example of one of the projects I manage where testing across devices is important: Subway Surfer Mod APK
    . Making sure everything loads properly on low-end hardware taught me a lot about optimization challenges.

    Thanks for sharing the insights here — this discussion clears up a lot about what’s possible when converting or rebuilding APKs.

    1. Use an older API level
    2. Remove package includes that can't be used on the lower API levels
    3. Create a workaround for the lack of includes (or ignore :))
    4. Publish your package

      Can you help me? Because i am trying to convert Football manager 2020 Touch from arm64 to arm. I purchased the game to mainly play it on my Pixelbook (chromebook) as the version FM19 touch was running fine but now the FM20 doesnt install.

        You need the source code. You cant convert an existing package.
