I decided to upload multiple APKs for different ABIs to shrink my apk filesize massively. Therefore I built with android -> splits -> abi -> enable true
(applevel build.gradle
).
I encountered those different APK flavours:
Which of those flavours do I need to serve/upload to the google play store?
I'm asking this because I've heard the following:
mips
and x86
(also 64)Is this true? Do I only need to upload arm-v8a
& armeabi
? What about armeabi-v7a
, do I need this flavour?
For someone who might be checking this out in the future, I don't think the x_86 or x86_64 devices need to be supported anymore in 2021. A simple search on the play console (device catalog) yields the following results:
Out of 13,333 devices supported by Android at the moment
13 devices support x86_64 (Mainly intel)
88 devices support x86 (Intel, Asus Zenfones)
5,198 devices support arm64-v8a
8,097 devices support armeabi-v7a
So by supporting just the arm ABI's you'd pretty much be covering 99.7 % of android devices.
