Android pre-launch report x86 usage

Question

We've built an app using Flutter and uploaded the Android app bundle to the Google Play Store. The pre-launch report showed an error when running the device on a virtual Google Pixel 2 device with an x86 ABI.

Other people have experienced the same error as me (see #83596) and it seems to be related to the fact that Flutter does not support building for x86

The Google docs for pre-launch reports state that the test devices used when making pre-launch reports are all ARM devices, so why was our app even tested on an x86 device?

Answer 1

Actually it seems that the Docs have been update as of 3 Aug 2023 and now read:

So using a ABI filter in app/build.gradle as per:

defaultConfig {
  ndk.abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a','x86_64' 
}

should do the trick.
