Installing an apk running on armeabi-v7a on Android studio

Question

I was running an API 33 pixel 6 x64_86 that returned an error for a couple of apps I was trying to install: [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

I found these run on armeabi-v7a. So I tried a second avd when I ran into a bunch of more problems. The api 33 wouldnt run an armeabi-v7a, so I tried different combinations. Unfortunately every one of them had the same prompt that I should run an x86 image on an x86 host as its 10x faster. When I forced one to run on Nougat 7.1.1 armeabi-v7a, a nexus, the avd ran snail slow taking almost 10 mins to just start up and I could ultimately install neither of the apps.

Im now out of ideas. Can anyone help and mostly importantly, is there any way I can run the armeabi on the existing api33 x64_86 which is way faster?

Answer 1

Short answer, no.

These are different instruction sets designed for different CPU hardware. armeabi is for Arm CPUs, and x64_86 is for (e.g.) Intel/AMD CPUs.
