I am using the special version with legacy mode enabled! 2.63

Latest version on my android 14 device works just fine with legacy mode!

EDIT: Probably shouldn't change the android 2.1 and higher requirement because I dug out a kindle fire first gen and installed the latest companion (2.78) and used legacy mode, and it worked fine. Note that the kindle fire was running android 2.3.4. Also I'm not giving up on android 2.1

Is it possible to make a APK out of the latest version with libs (like webrtc) removed?

Also I tried compiling a APK and installing it but no luck. Same goes for trying to change the min API on the compiled apk. When installed it just crashes

I can try to build you a version with the min SDK reduced back to 7, but since we're no longer testing on devices that old I can't guarantee things won't be broken.

Unforunately, I can't do much about the builds, since the build servers enforce the min SDK of 14. Your only option really will be to try and futz with the min SDK yourself using one of the APK editing tools and then resign the app using your keystore from App Inventor.

I did change the min sdk on the APK but no luck it just crashes and when I change the manifest to a friendly version but its just a black screen

Could I use

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ... >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="35" />
    ...
</manifest>

instead of the built in thing of the APK editor I'm using?

EDIT: I could try AiLiveComplete! - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
EDIT 2: I tried AiLiveComplete and everything works EXCEPT there is a bug with the blocks (i cant take them out of the block selector) but it works just fine with firefox
