Let's address the elephant in the room. Rockstar Games no longer actively sells the original 2004 version of San Andreas on mobile; they only sell the broken "War Drum Studios" port. Many modders argue that if you own a legitimate copy on any platform (PC, PS2, Xbox), downloading a modded mobile APK falls under fair use for archival and personal optimization.
However, legally speaking, distributing the OBB file (the game assets) is copyright infringement. Our recommendation: Purchase the official version once to support the developers, then uninstall it and install the "Trending App with Gamer7z Better" version for your actual playthrough. This keeps your conscience clear. gta san andreas by trending app with gamer7z better
