[Feature] Compile future builds for arm 32-bit and x86_64 #23

Open PalmDevs opened 4 months ago

Describe the bug Latest release (v1.2.0) build does not contain the necessary libraries for other architectures.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download latest release
  2. Install it on a device not running on ARMv8
  3. Observe failure

Expected behavior Installation not failing. Necessary libraries are included for other architectures in the build.

Device (please complete the following information):

Changing the title as this is not a bug -- this is expected behavior from the compiled APK -- but rather a feature request to compile to other architectures. FreePaint is actually compiled for arm64-v8a (64-bit ARM processors), not armeabi-v7a as you mentioned. However, your phone either has an ARM Cortex-A55 or A76 processor which are both 64 bit and can run FreePaint. I'll try and compile the next version for other architectures, but in the meantime I would suggest looking at your software setup or even contacting Samsung as you might have a 32-bit OS installed.

Unfortunately this is intentionally done by Samsung to some older lower-end devices to reduce resource usage. I can't do anything much about it. 🫠

Although previous builds do work with ARMv7 devices, did anything change?

I had a look and it seems like pathway may have dropped support for anything except arm64-v8a. I can compile the application itself for other architectures, but if Pathway doesn't support those architectures that'll be a little difficult

I just made a change to compile to armeabi (32-bit) and x86_64 architectures - and it works on an x86_64 virtual machine - but unfortunately I don't have an armeabi machine to test on. Looking at a debug apk I generated though it seems like I can compile universal apks. If you can compile FreePaint from the 1.3.0 branch I would recommend testing it out but right now I am like 90% sure it compiles universal apks again.
