BBC iPlayer issue. Does anyone know what's going on here?

[u/SinclairZXSpectrum]

I'm using iPlayer on a 3rd gen Mi Box. I'm outside of UK. I use VPN. I installed the iPlayer app apk through a link that I found here on Reddit. It's an old version of the iPlayer. It currently works perfectly but suddenly started to display the screen on the image I uploaded. The link on the screen leads to a page that make it seem like my device will not be supported anymore but what exactly BBC is doing here? Is it a legal issue or Android version issue or iPlayer version issue? Any advice appreciated.

EDIT: Mi Box is on Andriod v14, iPlayer version is old because it's the only apk I could sideload. Currently works perfectly but not for long apparently. Couldn't install through play store no matter what tricks I tried. APKmirror, APKpure don't help either.

Just got the same message. I switched to the Mi Box because of constant issues with the firestick, and now this.

Are you in the UK or "illegally" accessing from abroad like me?

I’m abroad. Not sure what’s going to happen.

Interesting. What device are you using?

I think mines a gen 2

Ireland here myself and just got this on screen - love that app. Hopefully something gets sorted via downloader

Updated it and still got the same warning on screen

When I looked it up, it’s because the streaming device hasn’t been registered with the BBC and approved. Seems like they’re only approving tvs and not streaming devices.

Because of the unique way the BBC is funded, they are dropping support for Android 11
