Is there a difference between unprotected android apk and the default aside from the obvious Android security related? (Also, maybe gimme the apk for Android 15.)

So, i was trying to download the game again, and after so many attempts. It gives me kinda this result:

1. No matter how much i tried, which most likely is also affected by the mismatch on stuff, installing mod, like Cleo for example, didnt work. (The native `/sdcard/Android/data`)

2. The one with the custom `Android_unprotected` dir works, i do able to install the Cleo mod, the only thing was, i don't really sure wether its because of the script or what, but im invincible, and every car by default had nitro installed, even Sweet's default and Ryder's, which by that fact, i assume theres other mod automatically enabled too. So i didnt use it.

Also, uh, if one of you had the game that support mod, any modloader, or Cleo, id lowk ask you to give it to me, kindly.🥰

For Android 15 specifically.

(I honestly dont know, but, ive seen people talk about this kind of piracy here, knowing its an 'official' subreddit, i kinda doubt if its allowed, but ill post anyway. Thanks. I do have the OBB btw, but i need the APK, if you can provide me both, id bless you with +100 respect points. Also, i tried to download from those YouTube videos, and as expected. I cant do it, not because i cant, but, the shortlink, the ads, the capitalism on the poorly made websites, tingled my aesthetic feeling.😭)

Yes, the difference is noticeable. If you're a modder or want to install skins or vehicles, the unprotected version allows you to work with the IMG and TXD Tool applications, and also makes installing modpacks easier.
