The package is too small and i see the output of ls inside file:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 android android 89 Jun 16  2021 brltty-dev.apk -> 
../brltty/git/master/Android/Gradle/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-armeabi-v7a-debug.apk
Can you please regenerate it?

If you use it only to test brltty and not for google pay, then you can 
try to flash your device with lineageos. Version 22.1 contains Android 
15, but i am not sure whether you will be able to install and completely 
use google services on it.

It looks like they may be phasing out support for arm 32-bit, which may also be the odd problem you're having on beta 16.
