32-bit Android compatibility

  • #1, by darren-beckett Yesterday Zitieren
    Hi,

    I'm building for Android using the Visionaire Android export (Gradle / vsplayer project). Recent exports appear to include only arm64-v8a native libraries under jniLibs/arm64-v8a/.

    I need to support devices that run 32-bit Android (armeabi-v7a) — for example older tablets that never received a 64-bit OS update, even though the hardware is 64-bit capable.

    Does Visionaire still support armeabi-v7a Android builds?
    If yes, is there an export setting, a separate Android player package, or documentation for obtaining the 32-bit .so files?
    If 32-bit is no longer exported by default, are legacy armeabi-v7a player libraries still available for developers who need them?
    I already ship arm64-v8a and meet Google Play's 64-bit requirement — I'm only looking to add 32-bit support alongside it for older devices.

    Any guidance or links would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    What models do you have in mind that are 32bit only? This segment has gotten very small and most are pretty slow. I don't think that it's worth it. You then need different min sdks that probably can't be combined with the settings in the 64bit version.

    Hey Simon,

    A device I had in mind is the Samsung Tab A SM-T510, Android 11, but 32-bit OS (armeabi-v7a). Not ancient API level, just 32-bit.

    Fair points on the small/slow segment.
    I get it may not be worth maintaining on your side, but are the armeabi-v7a player .so files still available anywhere? or has that been dropped entirely?

    Also, I thought 32/64 could share the same minSdk in one AAB via ABI splits; happy to be corrected if your pipeline differs.

    Thanks

    Well, I stopped building them since I updated ffmeg last year. So would need to rebuild that. I'll check on that.
