Has anyone does this for VIZIO app that controls among other things their soundbars (circa 2019)

I moved to a different country and the app is not on google play store in the new geography.

Even when it is installed somehow it is absolutely unreliable in pairing or controlling the device.

Wish I had time to go on a quest and reverse engineer and build my own better controller.

Might be worth taking a weekend day and letting claude code reverse engineer the apk (just download the apk off google) and then build an open source app with the functions you need
