Description
Device/Android Version: Moto E (2nd Gen) / 5.1
GmsCore Versions tried: v0.2.11.202414 , v0.2.5.12879
I am unable to install GmsCore to begin the microG installation process. This seems to be a unique issue since I am able to install the latest version on my other device (Samsung 10e) so I am not sure of the issue's source.
- Is this a android version incompatibility issue? Is there an older version that would be compatible with Android 5?

This is all the information that is given to me. Is there a way to show possible errors?
