I saw in the documentation at the "Click here for more information" that you can enable unsupported versions on the settings->dev tab, but on my system, no dev tab exists:

Also, Debian Bookworm here, same issue as original bug report

Fedora user here, same bug. And i cant find the dev tab too on the settings menu. I tried downloading an 1.21 apk and importing it but it didnt work.

Also, just so its clear, even though the message says its beta, it is no longer beta, 1.21 has gone GA

message says its beta

The message is not wrong, people on beta normally never get GA updates if they not leave it

also 1.21.10 is still in beta, 1.21.0 is a lower now GA version

Just close and reopen the launcher should show the update (since ca. an hour), because I need time to test if it does actually work that cannot be just assumpted due to how incomplete the compat layer is

Can confirm, 1.21 now downloads
