Lego mindstorms inventor app can't download

[Lombard003]

Hello.

I am building a komatsu bulldozer. I have the lego large hub turquoise 67718.  Today I went to the android app store to download the inventor mindstorms app and it has been discontinued. 

Does anyone know if I can still use this hub in some other way or platform ? 

Perhaps I will try to download it on an older android phone ? 

Android app store says" this app isn't available on your device because it was made for an older version of android"

Any help ?

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure I read LEGO has totally discontinued Mindstorms either last year or before... thus it makes sense you can't get the app anymore. But someone who knows more about the app / Mindstorms may have a different answer. (I know practically nothing about this aspect of LEGO)

I have just installed and run LEGO MINDSTORMS Inventor on my Android 12 phone from the Play Store. I am based in the UK. I can't test it as I have no Mindstorms kit but it seems to run okay. Hope this helps.

I just downloaded the app to my iphone.

They did abandon it, but it still works on iPhones and iPads. I am yet to try it out on a Windows machine.

But that will eventually stop working too. I heard this is not such a big problem because we have Scratch. So I downloaded that and Scratch Link doesn't even run (apparently the problem with seemingly used port is not uncommon) and the Scratch directly from MIT doesn't have necessary add-ons for SPIKE and Inventor.

Does anyone know what else is there to program those hubs?
