I am looking for such an application, which utilizes the IR blaster not only for sending, but also receiving data, such as the way it worked on the old phones, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, i.e. The modern IRs are just for sending data. There is no option to use the camera for IR data entering and replicating (my phone, and many more have IR nightvision cameras and are able to see/detect infrared light).

Anyways, about your problem, there is a little application called "Install with options", which allows you to bypass many reasons of why a certain app does not want to install - Hardware compatibility, OS version, region issues.. I have it on Android 14, so i am pretty sure it will be backwards compatible. The only thing i don't know is if it required root, but i think it didn't. Give it a try.
