I updated the app tonight and got the error message.
I checked the app's version requirements and its Android 7 and up.
I have 9.

I've messaged Flybuys via Facebook, have to wait until tomorrow for a reply.

Any one else having this problem?

Update: Flybuys via Messenger have asked for everything except a urine sample and have no idea.
Its nice to be the only person in Australia with a problem, makes me feel special 🙄.

Update: I downloaded the APK suggested by a Redditor on another post I did in r/Aussie and it worked.

Havelock is long gone, but was the 'go to' brand when I was a kid in the 1970s/80s.
I used to make '16s' patty cakes with my sister and used Havelock icing sugar to top them.
We also had chocolate sprinkles, 100s and 1000s, and those silver balls as well.

This image is the only one I could find online. Its from an SSW ad from 1975.

Cabbury gave it a red hot go entering the ice cream market to compete against the recently launched Mars range of ice creams, but it wouldn't last.

The first to launch was the Crunchie, followed by the Moro.

Some other ice creams:
Freddo
Tempo
Yowie (100s and 1000s, chocolate, choc jelly, choc banana)

Interesting concept.

The blurb:

We promise
no chocolates ever tasted
like these before

Streets Ice Cream Chocolates. With
seductive centres of Streets vanilla or
peppermint ice cream. To share and
gloat over when you're out or quietly
indulge yourselves at home. A quite
wicked extravagance. [Except that
Streets Ice Cream Chocolates are
now sold In selected supermarkets,
theatres, and milk bars at a very, very
tempting price.]

I grew up close to the Royal Melbourne Show.
We moved to Ascot Vale in January 1974 when I was 5.
We used to watch the fireworks from our 2nd story balcony in the Public Housing flats.

The rides I recall:
Mad Mouse roller coaster
Charilift
Super Loop
Turbo
Zipper
Gravitron
Pirate Ship
Fun Factory
Sizzler
Astro-Liner

Any others you recall?

Looks like a Gaiety with peanuts. Yum.

I don't remember trying this one.

I really liked these English Usborne books when I was a kid in the 1970s.

I had another one called 'Flying Models' for making paper planes.

Anyone else get into these books.
