@dinhka You should setup build configuration so that you have different APKs for each build type (armv7, x86_64, arm64, ...) and upload all of them to Play Store to your single app. This way you are packing all native libraries for all platforms with your apk which is useless.

In app level build.gradle

android {
    productFlavors {
        prod {
            ndk {
                abiFilter "armeabi-v7a"
            }
        }
    }
}

Hey @Saren-Arterius,

is only "armeabi-v7a" enough for a production app ou should we add some more?

Saren-Arterius commented 7 years ago

@shinayser It depends. I am sure most (> 98%) android devices are compatible with "armeabi-v7a". The 64bit android devices could fallback using armeabi-v7a. armv6 devices are simply being too old. MIPS devices are really rare.

The problem is x86 devices. It will be good to include x86 and x86-64 libraries.
