Sideloading a phone version of an app

by ml30_

I'm trying to get the phone version of ProtonVPN onto my android TV, but it loads the android TV version when I install it. I've tried sideloading by sharing the actual installed APK from my phone, as well as the APK from github, but it ends with the same result. Is there anyway to force the APK to use the phone version?

I mainly want to do this because the android TV version is lacking compared to the mobile version.

Thanks in advance.

If the apk contains both versions. It will install the appropriate version. No way to change that. Maybe contact the developer and see if there are plans to add more of the phone features.

Find an older version of the apk on apkmirror, the Android TV version is not very old. Only issue I see that the feature you looking for might be missing in the older version itself. Give it a try by downloading 3 month apart versions from last year.
