Unable to enable app on 32bit OS since OC 9.1

Explain the Problem

After update to OC 9.1 I can not activate news 8.8.0 due to this error:

This app cannot be installed because the following dependencies are not fulfilled:
64bit or higher PHP required.

What's the reason to ask for 64bit version?
Аll the more so up to version 9.1 it worked fine with 32 bits.

is there a way to fix this manually, because not having news is kinda bad.

[p5n]

appinfo/info.xml: php min-version="5.6" min-int-size="64"/>

it is strange requirement especially for ARMv7 boxes.

[LennartRoeder]

thx. I tried that yesterday, but I forgot to clear the cache. Now it works, and after applying #1008 I can use it now g.

[LennartRoeder]

Unless there is a good reason, this should be patched in the next release.

the 64bit requirement is safe to remove for now, however the app is going to indeed require 64bit soon: nextcloud/news@4f5e4df

[aventrax]

I upgraded my vps to 64bit due to this dependency.
Unfortunately I cannot enable the app: clicking on "Enable" results in this error: "Error: this app cannot be enabled because it makes the server unstable".

How can I use my news app again? I'm desperate... :)

Ok, solved by the patch listed here #1008
