About this APK

Houston Baseball is an app by Appness, LLC in the Sports category, listed since at least June 2023. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

Since version 7.0.8, the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 7.0. It asks for 16 permissions, 1 of them sensitive: approximate location. Compared with version 7.0.14, it adds 6 new permissions (“Access adservices ad id”, “Access adservices attribution”, “Access adservices topics” and 3 more) and drops 2 (“Read shared storage” and “Run at startup”).
