How can I select a graphic api at runtime?

The problem is again android. Some (too many) users report fatal crashes (black screen, need expert to repair phone) because the vulkan api is killing some hardware. it seems opengl is working way better, but it produces less acurate rendering with the crest ocean.
so i would like to let the user choose, if he dares to crash the device.

i am getting mad - we make 25% revenue with android compared to ios and have to spend 90% of time troubleshooting.

 

hm, this is the solution?

Unity 2019.3 introduces an Android specific solution that allows you to change Graphics APIs and threading modes very early during startup using standard Unity command line arguments. It's still not very convenient because you will have to write custom Java code to do that, but it's a solution.​

honestly? so, what kind of custom java code should I put where?
I would rather not fiddle arround with any java. I am currently on V2019.3.9 - should I update to 2020.1 ? Will Vulkan not kill android devices then?

I see a lot of these crash reports for huawei. vkCreateImageView I assume is caused by vulkan but I don´t know.
The user who had to bring his device to "repair" has a Redmi 9 with Android 10.
Another Crash on Samsung Galaxy S10 - no details from the user.
this are some reviews:
Galaxy A41: "After every start the mobile phone hangs up and has to be restarted"
Huawei nova lite: "The game does not open"
Huawei M3: "Does not start""

this is one log:
