NewPipe drops Android 5 support in version 0.28.7 due to library changes
NewPipe will discontinue support for Android 5 devices starting with version 0.28.7. This decision is due to recent AndroidX/Jetpack libraries becoming incompatible with Android 5, requiring the app to raise its minimum supported version to Android 6. Less than 1% of Android users remain on Android 5, which last received security updates in 2018.

I remember when Android 5.0 was announced, so long ago it's good that this app supported such old versions for so long.
