Crashes on Android with 2.9.0

Description

Android 15 Realme GT 6T. ScummVM 2.9.0 from Google Play. Beneath a steel sky both 0.0348 floppy dos or CD (no corrupt files on the Android device, double-checked and copied over multiple times).

Game intro crashes, also loading previous game files and moving to other rooms. Didn't happen with previous Android versions. In general gfx gets trashed and then app crashes.
It happens with BASS only, other games run fine and are stable.

Where can I download an old APK build arm64-v8a to double-check with previous builds?

The issue has been fixed after the 2.9.0 stable release. It only manifested in release builds, and not in development ones (when those were still using the enable-debug mode), so it was caught late.

The relevant (now merged) PR issued by lephilousophe is here:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/6369

The fix is backported to the 2.9 branch so it would be a part of a possible 2.9.1 bug-fix release if there's such.

Otherwise, it's part of the daily development builds (currently 2.10.0git) and those are available from our buildbot page (https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds) under the first column (ScummVM latest branch master).

Daily dev builds can be installed side by side with a stable build, as different apps (named differently) and each will have its own configuration.

You can also test with an older APK from the stable releases, but Android does not support downgrading, so that would mean that you'd have to uninstall your current ScummVM stable, in order to install the older one. Old releases are available on the ScummVM frs through here:
