About android authority, Mishaal Rahman achieved download Rabbit's launcher APK on a Google Pixel 6A. With a few tweaks, he was able to run the app as if it were on Rabbit's own device. Using the volume up key instead of the R1's single hardware button, he was able to set up an account and start asking her questions, as if he were using the $199 R1.
