nvm, found a workaround (this is for people who are running android 14 or above). It goes as follows:
1. Have the apk.
2. Enable developer mode.
3. Connect your device using usb or whatever and enable usb debugging.
4. Install adb on your pc
5. Establish an adb connection with the phone and the pc, whereby adb devices shows your device as authorised
6. Put the apk in the same directory as adb.
7. Using cmd / terminal, run adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block
Worked for me ^^
