Here's a quick RC5 release that now targets Android SDK 31. Previously, Orbot 
targeted SDK 29, which is too low now for release on Google Play.

https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/releases/tag/16.5.2-RC-5-tor.0.4.6.9

Please smoke test and let us know how it goes. Plan to push this out worldwide 
tomorrow.

ALSO, a very fun thing to do is to enable "Run Snowflake Proxy" in the 
settings, along with the "Show Connection Notification". This enables your 
device to be a Snowflake Proxy (aka "Bridge"), and you will be shown a small 
toast message each time someones connects through your device to the tor 
network. Having a direct experience of helping someone connect to tor through 
sharing spare capacity and bandwidth on your device is really a powerful and 
rewarding experience.

Best,
   Nathan
