Chinese Age-verification
So, I downloaded Lego Jurassic World on mobile as an APK. On launching the game it displayed Chinese text. On translating the text, I found out that it was Chinese Age-verification. How do I bypass this. Or do I not bypass this at all and download another version
Uninstall and Delete with extreme prejudice. Find an APK that has this removed or cracked; or make sure your system locale or language do not imply you might be Chinese speaking.
This is NOT age verification. It is asking for your real name and ID number, quite typical of many Chinese services for Chinese citizens.
Uninstall it.
Remove that shit ASAP. Get another apk.
Find another version. I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be any age verification at all considering Lego games are usually 3 or 7+
Minors are not allowed to play during specific times and only for a set amount per day. That's probably why it asks thr info. It'll prolly be sent off to some state-owned server to keep track of its citizens.
Yeah, I didn't think about the whole political spying part of owning a children's game. Bunch o' control freaks
I can't read Chinese, only Japanese, but I think it's asking for a name and the number of a personal ID which should have 18 digits.
Correct.
If I understood right they just want any name and any password for the parents mode
But you got the apk for the Chinese market, which is usually ad supported, plus the language barrier
You misunderstood. It asks for your real name and your identification number.
I've used APKPure in the past for APK downloads. I think that site and APKMirror are okay. Try them, but be careful. I haven't used them often, but I think they are sometimes recommended for APK downloads. Don't think their downloads are cracked or modified in any way so if that age verification is part of the game then this might not work.
Sidenote: I tried getting something off APKPure the other day and it only came in the form of XAPK files. Do you know how to get the APK out of them? (A cursory check suggests that XAPK might be a proprietary thing made by APKPure that only works with their own APKPure app, which feels pretty dirty to me...)
Try this. It seems .xapk files take a few extra steps. Not made by APKPure though.
I too wouldve use them, but they don't have the game
I know around 2021 I had this problem once, when I opened PvZ2 Chinese version. I was able to lookup and find a website that contained fake names, addresses, and IDs. It worked after I tried a few. A couple years later and it didn't work, so I have no idea what to do.
Also, I don't know if you need to know it or not, but for those that don't know, the top input field bar thing is for name and the one below it is for Chinese ID.
Btw this is most likely a scam. This is the equivalent of asking for your name, DOB, and SSN on a random app you found (the ID contains both location and DOB). Even if you have an actual ID DO NOT FILL THIS OUT. Delete, purge, and move on.
Last I checked, in China, you are legally required to put in your name and ID for games like mobile games. If I recall correctly, the law says something about making sure children don't spend all day gaming. And just inputting a fake Chinese name and Chinese ID isn't inherently bad. The bigger problem would be what the app does behind the scenes. That's what I'd be more concerned about.
I've had to do this with PvZ2 Chinese edition back in 2021, which was originally started by PopCap Shanghai, so it wasn't just some random small company making some relatively obscure game. I personally think it's a dumb law, but there's nothing a foreigner like myself can do to really change it.
Can you give me such a website

Same site linked an ID validator:

If that doesn't work, the next unique link was:
https://code-complete.com/chinaid/
That one let's you pick your residence, enter a birthdate, and select male for female and will generate a bunch of supposedly valid IDs, but no names.

I cannot guarantee either of these will work.
