Amazon Fire - Fdroid version says 'incompatible' - any other options?

I had hoped my fire tablet would be useful for reading newspapers, magazines, watching videos etc. But of course all these services require credentials verification which are handled on all my other devices via Bitwarden.

The Amazon store doesn’t host Bitwarden (a decision in it’s own right which means I won’t buy a replacement Amazon tablet). It looked like the Bitwarden solution was to install FDroid and then Bitwarden from there. FDroid appears to work well on the Fire tablet but the two versions of Bitwarden (production and beta) are both marked as ‘incompatible’ on the Fire tablet.

Is there any ‘official’ support for an installable apk from Bitwarden from a trusted source?

Yes I know I can use Fire Toolbox and install Play Store but that is a last resort. I’m trying to keep this tablet minimal and don’t want the temptation of a world of apps :slight_smile:

@iambrian Welcome to the forum!

What FireOS version does your tablet have?

Yeah, that might help, mightn’t it!

It’s Fire OS 7.3.3.1 on a Fire HD10 (9th gen)

FireOS 7 is based on Android 9.

The new Bitwarden native mobile app for Android needs Android 10 or above:

So, unless you can update to a higher FireOS version, that’s a general incompatibility…

Brilliant thanks. Not good news, since the last update was only a couple of weeks ago. So unless Amazon have a beta based on Android 10 I now know that it is a waste of my time trying any other solutions.

Thanks for providing a definitive answer, even if it wasn’t the one I wanted to hear.

I have an amazon fire with Bitwarden. The biggest problem is it being so underpowered that unlocking take ~15 seconds. That, and my fire hardware does not have biometrics and I am spoiled.

What I did was install the Google Play Store in it and from there, I can install any Android App.
