I’ve kept my old TCL phone around as a remote at home bc the app worked so well and was easy to use. I just realized it’s not available in the Play store, nor apk pure for historical availability. I cannot hold down the icon to share. When I browse the file explorer I see the app but it doesn’t give me anything to view to copy… I wish I could share it!!
It’s frustrating. My phone is fairly new, but also has the IR emitter. In a perfect world, I would set it up as a “TVbGone” type setup. Unfortunately all the apps have disappeared from the play store. Also, all the GitHub repositories are so old they don’t work with modern android.
Have you found an app that still works with an IR blaster? My phone has one, but none of the apps work anymore.

Same, it didn’t dawn on my flashing LineageOS that my IR may not work. Several F-Droid IR apps are terrible
Edit: https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.ir_remote is about the only semi decent, but for TCL you have to do custom remote which takes some work.
You can also export and import which might save you time
