Good morning. I have some handheld computers with Android 8 Oreo, I need to connect to a Windows server via RDP. On the Play Store, Microsoft's RDP Client is compatible from Android version 9 onwards.

There is also RDP Client 8, but it is compatible with Android 4 to 7.

With the 8 there is no way to connect to RDP?

Thank you

    Good morning!

    I've noticed that the RDP Client 8 is compatible with Android versions 4.1 to 7.1. However, the version 10.0.13.1174 of RDP Client requires a minimum Android version of 9.

    Have you thought about experimenting with older versions of the RDP Client 10? I believe there might be APKs available for download from third-party websites. What's new in the Remote Desktop client for Android

    Regardless of how it is presented, RDP Client 8 only has an imposed minimum version of Android 4.X required. As far as I know, there is technically no limitation on a higher release of Android beyond hardware compatibility (architecture/CPU). Like other Android apps, it simply was not tested on newer releases of Android and Windows beyond its lifetime/scope of development. So there is always a possibility of future incompatibility.

    There are versions of RDP client 10/10 Preview that were compiled with a minimum requirement of Android 8. I believe those versions are 10.0.11.1140 through 10.0.12.1148. I would recommend locating and installing the last APK version (10.0.12.1148) from a reliable and trustworthy site for the most up-to-date version that is still compatible with your hardware. Another possibility is the latest/last version of RDP 8.
