The error you've encountered indicates that the software fails to interpret an installation or points to a problem with the file or data structure during processing, hady144. I'll address your concerns one at a time below.

For your first query, the minimum Android version required for QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2023 should be Android version 4.4 or above. However, Android version 6.0 or higher is necessary for QBDT 2024 on the Zebra MC40.

Regarding your second question, there is no older APK compatible with Android 5.1.1, as it is an outdated version. You will want to reach out to an Android developer for further assistance.

Lastly, Android 5.1 is the app version guaranteed to install on the Zebra MC40, a barcode scanner device that is an Android mobile computer not designed for direct use with QBDT in HID mode. Therefore, you'll need a middleware or a custom integration.
