It's not an issue with the OS version--it's an issue with the apk file. We discourage downloading apk files, and instead encourage using legitimate app stores like Google Play Store. Manually installing apk files is a good way of getting malware, and also tends to support piracy (since the filesharing sites where these apk files are found are usually unregulated repositories of cracked files).
