As a hobbyist game developer with several games of my own no longer available due to the marching on of OS versions, I sympathize. There just isn't enough time or incentive for me to keep old codebases current with arbitrary API changes.

I wish Android had a compatibility layer, along with some sandboxing measures to keep security threats from being too serious. That way old programs can still stick around, and leave more time for devs to focus on new programs instead of maintaining old ones.
