I can only install BOINC 7.16.16 from the download page.

The above page say that BOINC 7.24.1require Android 4.1 or above. So my android 7.0 tablet should be able to install the BOINC software.

Also, I would like to suggest the supported OS version be included in the release note

I am able to resolve this problem by:
1. Remove the BOINC 7.16 from the tablet.

2. Install F-Droid

3. Install the latest version of BOINC 7.24.1 from F-Droid.
