[Q] An Android Gingerbread App not working in later versions

Hi friends,
I need advice on a pressing issue I am facing right now about an android app I got developed through a freelancer.
I am webmaster of a website for numerology enthusiasts. On this website, we were offering a numerology calculator (basically a combination of html pages with some javascript embeded - all compiled in an .exe format) Later, on some suggestions, we decided to prepare an Android version of this tiny program by hiring a programmer of South India. It was 2011 and the Gingerbread was the prevalent Android platform. The programmer created the App and we published it on Android Market where it is still available on playstore (search for com.namecalculator.lite on playstore and the first result 'Your Lucky Name' is the app in question.)
The problem is that this was an app which was not compatible with the later version of Android. As such, after sometimes, when the ICS version of Android was launched, the app stopped working for ICS devices. As of now, except for some old Android devices, this App is useless.
When I contacted the guy who originally developed this App, he told that the source file of the Apps were not saved by him and as such, he expressed his inability to do anything about it. He told me that if I again wanted him to develop the app for later versions of Android (like ICS, Jellybean etc), I will have to pay him the full development fee as he will have to start again from scratch.
Since my website is only a hobbyist website with negligible revenue, it was not possible for me to again hire this programmer just to develop an upgraded version of the app.
As of now, a very popular part of my website (the app) has become unavailable for its intended users. In this background, I want guidance on the following:-
(1) If an App is already built for an earlier Android version, does making it compatible with future/latest version of Android require the same amount of energy and effort which was needed when the app was developed the first time?
(2) Since the App in question is basically a compilation of html files with some javascript embeded in some pages, will it be really difficult to reconstruct the app if the source file of earlier app has been lost ?(I still have the raw html pages with me)
(3) I am not a programmer but have experience of web-designing, creating blogs etc. Can I self taught myself to create the above mentioned app by reading and following the online tutorials ? If yes, what in your opinion is the expected time an average learner (with no programming background) can do it? Also kindly point me to some good tutorials.
(4) Any other advice on the above issue some of you might be having ?
Regards
Eklavya

How to start making Windows 10 Mobile Apps (with unlocked capabilities)

1. Learn a supported programming language: I would recommend learning C# (since there are more resources available for it for UWP development).
C# Tutorial Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jeDwO-4rIw&list=PLm-PcOa0HEDbnEdssI8lFgeY9NjI9u6RN
2. Learn how to make UWP apps: You would need to learn how to design the apps and how to code specifically for UWP
UWP Tutorial Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiaUzO72tqE&list=PLi2hbezQRVS0cPMeW3uDlUHnO_rPvJCV9
3. You are free to do anything you want now: Feel free to experiment with APIs you find in the Microsoft Docs and stuff you find online.
4. Unrestricted freedom: When you submit your app to the Microsoft Store, you have to meet requirements which limit what your app is allowed to do. However, you are free to share packages that use those restricted capabilities. With those capabilities, I was able to create things like the Third Party app store, app installer, app launcher etc. You could potentially make your own third-party versions of the stock apps with these.
Here is a list of capabilities with namespaces related to them. (The restricted ones are further down): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/app-capability-declarations
By creating more amazing apps, you make the community even better! Thank you
P.S. Please make this sticky, this would really help newcomers and make this forum even better!
Shameless plug to my app installer lol: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...d-games/uwp-app-launcher-source-code-t3667562

Not worth the effort honestly. Would be nice to port Chromium though.

How to work with the instructions in your app for different models on Android?

Friends! There is a problem:
In my application, I have a need to make troubleshooting instructions with notifications, usually these problems are related to:
a) Battery optimization settings;
b) And additional battery parameters;
But in different models, brands and versions of Android, the scripts and interface of system windows are different to solve problems A and B. Is there any special reference or framework that can be implemented in your application?
P.S. in Google Play, I met applications that have instructions for any smartphone, did they not prescribe everything themselves?

I am not sure that I have completely understood what you mean.
Yes, there are differences introduced by manufacturers into the firmware running on their devices. But the basic operating system is the same: Android from Google.
So the basic services, interfaces, settings should be nearly the same on every Android device ... as long as the manufacturer had not changed it.
