I was using Nestbox daily with no problems. Fantastic work! After update to 14 Nestbox has not worked. I have tried to reinstall it, but my Pixel 7 Pro is no longer supported. I do not want a refund. Hoping the mad scientist is able to invest more time into Nestbox. 😁
Fairly certain changes in Android 14 are preventing virtualization access due to changes in the selinux policy or handling surrounding /dev/kvm. From what I've done to troubleshoot. Pixel 7 pro. October official Android 14 update and no root.
