So, I downloaded Lego Jurassic World on mobile as an APK. On launching the game it displayed Chinese text. On translating the text, I found out that it was Chinese Age-verification. How do I bypass this. Or do I not bypass this at all and download another version

I've used APKPure in the past for APK downloads. I think that site and APKMirror are okay. Try them, but be careful. I haven't used them often, but I think they are sometimes recommended for APK downloads. Don't think their downloads are cracked or modified in any way so if that age verification is part of the game then this might not work.

I too wouldve use them, but they don't have the game

Sidenote: I tried getting something off APKPure the other day and it only came in the form of XAPK files. Do you know how to get the APK out of them? (A cursory check suggests that XAPK might be a proprietary thing made by APKPure that only works with their own APKPure app, which feels pretty dirty to me...)

Try this. It seems .xapk files take a few extra steps. Not made by APKPure though.

Oh, it's not proprietary. Then that's a lot less bad. Thanks for the guide; I'll try this later.
