Mismatch of CPU Architecture

[santi-cognifit]

Hello

I've got this error while updating to cordova-android@7.0.0 (see the screenshot below)

I was not sure if it was a plugin discrepancy problem, so I created a new project, but the result was the same:

$ cordova -v
8.0.0
$ cordova create crosswalkTest 
$ cd crosswalkTest
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview
$ cordova platform add android
$ cordova platform list
Installed platforms:
  android 7.0.0
Available platforms: 
  browser ~5.0.1
  ios ~4.5.4
  osx ~4.0.1
  windows ~5.0.0
  www ^3.12.0
$ cordova run

Thanks for any help

PD: I was thinking in removing this plugin, but we have a non-negligible amount of users with android 4.4.x. Is it safe to remove this plugin? Is there an alternative?

Same problem here... did you manage to solve it?

[lovelyelfpop]

Same problem here

[andaqui]

Same problem.

[ghost]

Same problem. It happens on cordova-android@6.4.0 too

[voltor]

I solved the problem.
I found that the plugin works correctly in my case.
The problem was with the Android Studio.
Android Studio 3.0.1 uses arm64Debug by default.
To solve this problem I have taken the following steps in the Android Studio:

1. click on the app
2. Build ->Select Build Variant
3. Select armv7Debug

[andaqui]

The solution @voltor posted works for me aswell.

[voltor]

This plugin really works incorrectly on the device with arm64 CPU architecture.
You can install armv7 APK file to your device but you will install arm64 APK from the Play Store when arm64 APK file is in the Play Store

[westcoastavgallery]

same issue here, works fine uploading just the non 64 arm like what @voltor said

[steodor]

I'm having the same issue, cordova run android --device installs the wrong apk. I'd like to specify to cordova run that i want armv7 and not arm64 but i don't know how - any ideas?

Meanwhile, a workaround is to install the armv7 apk using adb directly like so (from project root folder):
adb install platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/armv7/debug/app-armv7-debug.apk

[JacobSchwartzSoerensen]

@voltor A solution to this is to only upload the armv7 and x86 apk's to playstore 😉

[osvaldoconcepcion]

As said above the issue is with arm64 CPU builds. When crosswalk is added to the project it generates by default multiple apks. Adding <preference name="xwalkMultipleApk" value="false" /> to your config.xml will generate a unique apk that combines armv7 and x86.

same issue here

@ikarus-balsero now my app size reaches to 108mb by following your method. How to reduce App Size?

[steodor]

@JavedChaudary it's that large because it contains both armv7 and arm64 compiled versions of the same browser component, as the <preference name="xwalkMultipleApk" value="false" /> setting instructs the build process to do, so basically it works as expected but the apk size is a downside. You can remove the preference (or set it to true) to get separate, smaller apk files, then see my comment above for a workaround (if the path doesn't work as-is, just locate the correct apk you want and adb install it).

[JavedChaudary]

@steodor Thanks for the guidance

adb install platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/armv7/debug/app-armv7-debug.apk
Thanks for a good solution. I created simple grunt instruction to build app and then install it on active device (since doing it manually every time I make changes, it's too time consuming).

HI, I already have working build that support kitkat & above in playstore.
But need to upload another to support jellybean users. So i duplicate the project, install cordova-android 6.4 and crosswalk.

Finally managed to build successfully. Followed your step, installed unique apk to emulator with jellybean api and app 'stopped working'.
So, i tried to install to my device with nougat api and get the 'mismatch cpu architecture' instead.

Help would be appreciated.

[SuperStar518]

After a long period of troubles, I've found my own solution.
It's simple but NOT effective - INSTALL crosswalk-project-64bit
https://apkpure.com/crosswalk-project-64bit/org.xwalk.core64

Would any star of this community update the current plugin in order to meet the need of 64bit support until August 1st?
Thanks in advance.

• Trying to build an arm64 version of my app but I can't get crosswalk to be included
• arm7 works fine but every time I try to install arm64 version, I get the "mismatch of CPU architecture" popup
• Only solution I have found is to manually install https://apkpure.com/crosswalk-project-64bit/org.xwalk.core64 on the device
• But that is not an option for me.. is there a way to include crosswalk for arm64 builds?

[SuperStar518]

@Kiludude You've faced the same situation with me.
At the moment, i feel that the only workaround is to install crosswalk-project-64bit. >_<

[skxu]

@alidavid0418 @Kiludude
Have either of you two found a way to include crosswalk? Running into the same issue.

[alanst32]

@alidavid0418 @Kiludude @skxu I'm facing the same problem. I'd like to build arm64 version but I am getting the msg.. Any update on this issue?

[voltor]

I use this way:

cordova build android --release --xwalk64bit
or
<preference name="xwalk64bit" value="true" />
+'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:23.53.589.4'
+ I removed 'productFlavors' in the cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview\mobile-xwalk.gradle

it works for me

[alanst32]

Thanks @voltor for me worked when I changed the command to:

ionic cordova build android -- --xwalk64bit --release

[natiels]

Thank you @voltor ! That worked for me. Just to add some details for future folks.

Modify the .gradle file found in your project's platforms/android/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview directory. Add the line flavorDimensions "versionCode" under the android section in order to avoid the build errors about product flavors.

I ended up adding a cordova hook in after_prepare to run a script and add the line using a sed command.

don't use this script verbatim, but it should give you a good start.

  XWALK_GRADLE_FILE=platforms/android/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview/myproject-xwalk.gradle
  if grep -q "flavorDimensions" ${XWALK_GRADLE_FILE}; then
    echo "   flavorDimensions already set in ${XWALK_GRADLE_FILE}"
  else
    echo "   Adding flavorDimensions in ${XWALK_GRADLE_FILE}"
    sed -i '/android {/a flavorDimensions "versionCode"' ${XWALK_GRADLE_FILE}
  fi

This script will find the "android {" entry and add the flavorDimensions line right after it.

[voltor]

Thank you @natiels ! I did the same with the cordova hook. Thanks for knowledge for flavorDimensions

[SuperStar518]

Thank you, @voltor @natiels
I'll try your workarounds

I think this issue should be closed now since there's a new issue regarding to 64 bit mis-architecture and a good solution as well.

It works quite well for me. Thanks, @lumitor2

Hello @alidavid0418
I am struggling with the problem to add both the 64bit and 32bit libraries in the same apk or android bunble.
Because:
1- if I try to upload an apk containing only the 64bits lib, Google Play Store says to me my apk will not compatible with some devices.
2- if I upload one with only the 32bits, Google Play Store gives error about not supporting 64bits devices. (After 08/01/2019, apks must support 32 and 64 bits devices.

Any help please.

My bad. Everything is ok now.
I just create an apk for each architecture (32bit and 64bit) and upload each of them on Google play store.
thanks

@pastinyala Yes I did.

does it mean, when u upload 4 apk, all the 4 apk will appear in play store based on the users' phone specs? but wasn't play store will reject the apk that have same version number? or all the 4 apk you upload have a different version number?
