You Must Be 64-Bit to Ride This Ferry

<blockquote> TLDR: If you have a newer Android device that won’t let you install NY Waterway, you can download <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k4sC932ZZDepRbTJ3wCLZxJR1NsQMa_s/view?usp=share_link" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">my modified version of the application</a>. You should always be careful installing random applications, especially from sources other than the official Play Store — like this Medium post by a random guy you’ve never heard of. If you want to be extra cautious, you can read ahead to see how the APK was modified (and even repeat the steps yourself if you want). </blockquote> In 2019, <a href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/01/get-your-apps-ready-for-64-bit.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Google made 64-bit support required</a> for all new and updated applications in the Play Store. Starting in August 2021, applications that do not support the 64-bit architecture became unavailable in the Play Store for 64-bit capable devices. Notably, <a href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2022/10/64-bit-only-devices.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro do not support installing 32-bit only applications at all</a>. For New Yorkers riding the Hudson River ferry, this is quite inconvenient because the application that provides electronic tickets on your phone, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bytemark.nywaterway" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">NY Waterway</a>, is really old. It was last published in June 2018, and contains native libraries for 32-bit architectures only… Therefore, for users of the new Pixel devices, no electronic tickets on the Hudson River ferry for you! <a href="https://betterprogramming.pub/you-must-be-64-bit-to-ride-this-ferry-61ed45c57a93">Click Here</a>
