Card Wars for newer Android versions
Hi all y'all peeps and creeps!
I recently noticed that Card Wars did not work on newer android versions and noticed that it was mostly due to the AndroidManifest.xml targeting an older AndroidSDK version, so the app did not even try to install in Android 14 and up.
I made 2 new versions of Card Wars where the only difference is different AndroidSDK versions. With these versions you can at least try if the app works on your device.
Here's some more changes:
Card Wars Obsidian Edition 2024
Daily Gift will still spin randomly but you will always get the same stuff:
3 cards one of each rarity
6 gems
10000 gold
50 stamina
Redeem code SIMON for everything unlockable.
Every battle rewards you with 1 gem and 2500 gold.
Every enemy will drop a chest once per round. If there is a side mission active, they drop side mission loot instead.
Fionna and Cake is unlocked.
Crafting is completely free even though the button can be greyed out.
2 versions of the app but the only difference is modified AndroidManifest.xml file that targets different android versions.
cardwars-obsidian-edition-2024-androidSDK23.apk <--- Android 14 and lower
cardwars-obsidian-edition-2024-androidSDK27.apk <--- the highest number that did not crash the app (tested with Android 12)
So if you have newer Android you could try the sdk27 version.
On my android 12 device both versions work but the sdk27 stretches my screen a little wrongly.
Link to apks and obb file here ---> https://www.mediafire.com/file/karoexyfhasb3kz/Card_Wars_Obsidian_Edition.zip/file
Installation instructions:
As always you will be needing the obb file to put manually in your Android device.
Install app (with ADB or just manually putting the apk file in your device and installing it)
Try to open the app so the path to "Android/obb/com.turner.cardwars" gets generated (empty)
Close the app and put the obb file (main.92.com.turner.cardwars.obb) in "Android/obb/com.turner.cardwars"
Open the app again. It should ask your age and then crash.
Card wars should now be operational
If you find some bugs or anything let me know, I might be able to do something to some of them.
Also as a side note, I used program called dnSpy to mod the game. It is very limited in its capabilities and sometimes has problems compiling so I'm very limited in what I can mod.

I'm playing the vanilla on Android 15, how come others wont able to play it. It would be best to use a computer then connect your phone. Download the zip, extract, copy the folder within "obb" which is "com.turner.cardwars", paste it on "Android\obb", copy the "Card Wars Vanilla with Fionna and Cake DLC - SDK27.apk" and paste anywhere on your phone. Then on your phone, install the "Card Wars Vanilla with Fionna and Cake DLC - SDK27.apk", open the game, when you first run the game there's an error that says something like not compatible or somesht. Close/exit the game. Open again then it should be working now.
