Are x86 and `x86_64`Android targets not supported? I'm looking at the sample https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/samples/androidNativeActivity/build.gradle here and only seeing arm32, arm64

[napperley]

You are correct with arm32 and arm64 being the only platforms supported by the Android target.

[napperley]

Android isn't widely used on x86/x86_64 based CPUs (on "real" devices) hence it doesn't make much sense for the Android target to support those CPUs.

It's needed for emulators

[benny.huo]

And the only platform supported is x86 now. It is really helpful to support it.

[JoakimForslund]

Yeah tried to use the old emulators instead of intel arch

[JoakimForslund]

I do not recommend it, at all.

Android isn’t widely used on x86/x86_64 based CPUs

It’s not true, all the Chromebooks are x86 and in our app we have significant amount of users who use Android apps on their Chromebooks

[gildor]

it doesn’t make much sense for the Android target to support those CPUs

Also we have high performance C++ code that works with audio and difference between native x86_64 vs ARM interpreter is huge. So support x86/x86_64 is really required for native code used for Android applications

[napperley]

Permanent Android support on Chromebooks is a recent change though.

[gildor]

It’s already available for many Chromebooks even released 3 years ago, thanks to good backward compatibility support
