Welp - sideloading broke with 1.16.0.2 - I can pull it down from my Android tablet but it no longer launches on Nvidia Shields. We've been enjoying Minecraft for years without issue - why no support still? 😞 

Yeah - not sure about the reason. I side load it from my Android tablet and it works great - just kind of an annoyance. In terms of Xbox - I have to say that specific to Minecraft - it boots up and plays faster on our Nvidia Shield (me downstairs) than our Xbox One X (8yo upstairs). Do I miss having surround sound audio for Minecraft on the Shield, sure. 😉 

I simply pushed a new APK version that I took from one of my Android tablets that I had purchased a copy of Minecraft on and it works fine on my Nvidia Shield. Since it works just fine (last version I pushed was 1.10) - why this isn't just kept on the store as an auto update is annoying.

I've kept coming back to this page hoping that it would have received some attention by now - but alas - it's still an issue. Can't play with my other versions of Minecraft until my NVIDIA Shield version can upgrade. Please - my kids need multiplayer (which means I really need it!
