I’m still using Swype on my OnePlus, even 5 years after it was delisted. I’m dreading updating to Android 14 because of this.
But from what I read on the xda-dev forum, it’s not the 32 vs. 64 bit architecture being problematic, but rather than Android 14 enforces a minimum version of the android sdk, and for an app that hasn’t been updated for so long, they are now falling behind the requirements.

There’s an ongoing discussion where people have posted recompiled apks with current sdk api though, that appear to be working: https://xdaforums.com/t/any-way-to-run-swype-dragon-keyboard-on-android-14-on-pixel-6-pro.4640113/page-5
