Android Studio error: Installation failed with message INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113

Question

I am developing an Android app for Emotion recognition using Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services. I am using the code from the following GitHub repository.

https://github.com/microsoft/Cognitive-Emotion-Android

When I run the application on Asus smartphone with Android 8, I get the following error:

Installation failed with message INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113. It is possible that this issue is resolved by uninstalling an existing version of the apk if it is present, and then re-installing.

WARNING: Uninstalling will remove the application data!

Do you want to uninstall the existing application?

I have tried adding the following in build.gradle(Module:app) inside android block

splits {
        abi {
            enable true
            reset()
            include 'x86', 'armeabi-v7a'
            universalApk true
        }
    }

This does not solve the issue.

These are the dependencies in build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:2.0.4'
    implementation 'com.microsoft.projectoxford:emotion:1.0.355'
    implementation 'com.microsoft.projectoxford:face:1.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.5'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

Your help is very much appreciated.
