Get Netflix working on XA2 Plus Dual Sim

I recently acquired a Sony XA2 Plus Dual Sim and flashed Sailfish X (3.2) onto it, which seems to work fine now (though I wish the instructions had told me that I cannot allow it to upgrade to Android 9 if I want the fingerprint sensor to actually work). But now it would be nice if I could use Netflix on it, but this seems to be impossible; any version of the Android app I've tried, it just says "Denne enheten støttes ikke av appen" (This device is not supported by the app).

I know there's a XA2 wiki that says Netflix v4.15.1 is supposed to work, but I can't find this particular version anywhere. I've been able to try v4.16.4, but it just produces the above error.

I did install MicroG before installing Netflix, but I've since also tried uninstalling that, and it didn't seem to help much.

Is there still any way for me to use Netflix on my new XA2?

Hei. Har du prøvd https://m.apkpure.com/netflix/com.netflix.mediaclient/versions

Får 3.6.16 til å kjøre på Xperia X, men har ikke Netflix konto å teste innlogging med.

Hmm, det ser forsåvidt ut til å virke ja, men det er sikkert bedre med 4.15 uansett.

Hi, someone gave me the correct version on the SFOS Fan Club Telegram channel. You don't need Google Play services. Version I have and which works is: netflix-4-15-1-build-14947.apk

I'd ask where you got that version from, but I finally found it by searching Google for that filename: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-4-15-1-build-14947-release/

And it seems to work. Too bad this version doesn't seem to support downloads...

Finally it works now for me! I've downloaded version 3.16.6, also from apkpure! All the other versions (I tried allot!) didn't work...
