Hi,

I did an update to our AppGameKit Classic Android game and uploaded to Google Play.
The Play console is complaining about the Android APK not being 64 bit?
How do we build 64 bit Android APK using current AppGameKit Classic?
Let us know, thanks!

Sorry to bump but Google has a cutoff date soon for 32 Bit only apps.
Am I missing something to build 64 Bit app in AGKC?
Let us know, thanks!

@fubarpk: I and several others have reported this problem in the " AppGameKit Version 2019.08.01" thread. The requirement went into effect Aug 1st, but I don't think it was completely enforced because I managed to get a few released this month before being stopped by this error.

"It isn't required to support every 64-bit architecture, but for each native 32-bit architecture you support you must include the corresponding 64-bit architecture."

We have armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, and x86, but since we have x86, we also need x86_64 which is missing.

EDIT: If you manage an existing app release through the Google Play Console, you'll see they are marked "This release is not compliant with the Google Play 64-bit requirement."

@fubarpk: as Adambiser said, the problem is still here in the 2019.08.01 release...

This release is not compliant with the Google Play 64-bit requirement

The following APKs or App Bundles are available to 64-bit devices, but they only have 32-bit native code: 110.

From February 1, 2020 all releases must be compliant with the Google Play 64-bit requirement.

Include 64-bit and 32-bit native code in your app. Use the Android App Bundle publishing format to automatically ensure that each device architecture receives only the native code it needs. This avoids increasing the overall size of your app.

but you may be interested to know

google play 64 bit information taken directly from the google play website

APKs or app bundles targeting OS or Android TV

@fubarpk: Yes, but as of 2019.08.01, AppGameKit targets API 28, Android 9, as required by Google.

Quote: "Starting August 1, 2019, Google Play requires that new apps target at least Android 9.0 (API level 28), and
that app updates target Android 9.0 from November 1, 2019. Until these dates, new apps and app updates must
target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26)."

so updates are fine

Yep, but I'm trying to post a new app. Nonetheless, it's something that needs corrected in AGK.

I am also being prevented from publishing a new app due to the 64 bit compliant error.

When will this be addressed?

Each day is $zero app income while it is not on the store.

Same problem here. The latest AGK2 2019.08.01 doesn't have the 64-bit version of x86 ( x86_64 ) so the store will not accept it as a new app.

As a temp fix, remove the reference to x86 in the application.mk file and release app with just arm support.

Today I was surprised to upload the APK to the Google Console.
Error that requires 64bits ...

Should we wait for September?
I wish it was before September 7

Hi,

Read post:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BraindeaD

Only should delete the x86 folder.
within this path: ...\AGK2\Tier 1\Editor\data\android\lib\

You can export the APK, also weigh less.
Upload it to Google Store, I did the test and it works.

Only TGC forgot to delete the x86 folder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only issue is I am using Ubuntu Linux.
Where do I find the above "x86" folder on Ubuntu Linux?

Thanks!

Jesse

Hi,

So we updated one of our games using new AppGameKit Version 2019.09.10(Linux).
We built for Android.
When we uploaded to Google Play, the 64Bit warning was gone.
Thanks!
