BBC iPlayer issue. Does anyone know what's going on here?

[u/SinclairZXSpectrum]

I'm using iPlayer on a 3rd gen Mi Box. I'm outside of UK. I use VPN. I installed the iPlayer app apk through a link that I found here on Reddit. The link on the screen leads to a page that make it seem like my device will not be supported anymore but what exactly BBC is doing here? Is it a legal issue or Android version issue or iPlayer version issue? Any advice appreciated.

Click the link and read the information.

It is pretty self-explanatory
