Does anyone know where the APKs for Gospel Library are at? I followed the link on the following page for LDS tools and sideloading that APK worked great, but following the Gospel Library link doesn't lead to its respective APK.

I'm using LineageOS on an older smartphone and I'm trying to see how far I can get without using Google. I believe there is an app, Yalp, that will let me get it through the store. But this webpage leads me to believe that that shouldn't be necessary. It's too bad that the only closed source apps on my phone will be from the Church...

I am also interested to see if I can find an older version apk that my tablet can still use. The lastedt is not compatible. I found the link to the Gospel Library doesn't work either.

Do you have the Play Store on your tablet? The Play Store will provide an older version of the app to devices that aren't able to run the latest.
That said, older versions of Gospel Library (earlier than Gospel Library 5) are no longer receiving content updates.

Not necessarily. Some tablets do not, even though they are Android based. We want to sideload them, which is not the same as downloading it from the Play Store. We can directly install the APK and still be able to sign in with our login.

Either that, or we'd like a fully linked epub version of the Quad.

And you can access it here: https://cdn.churchofjesuschrist.org/mob ... latest.apk

Thank you! Do you (or anyone else) have links to other versions of the Gospel library APK?

I'm interested in installing it on an E-ink tablet running a heavily modified version of Android 8. I have not tried the "latest" apk from your link yet, but I'd still like to know how to download older/specific versions in case the latest doesn't work on Android 8.

If there was just a publicly accessible list of versions with APK links, that would be perfect.

Gospel Library has to be able to download the scriptures from the Church servers. At some point those servers change and older versions of GL won't be able to download anymore.
