Unity, build for Android x86_64

Question

Hello!

Is t$$anonymous$$s possible to make a build for Android x86_64? I can't find it in Unity 2018.

Goole Play requires the support for 64 bit processors and will not accept the APK without such support since August 1-st 2019.

Is the option to build Android x86_64 APK available in Unity?

I have found the answer to my question. It's impossible because x86 is dead. Android x86 support will be deprecated in Unity 2019.2 and removed entirely in Unity 2019.3. https://blogs.unity3d.com/ru/2019/03/05/android-support-update-64-bit-and-app-bundles-backported-to-2017-4-lts/

I have submitted a request to Google Play to drop x64 requirements for x86. Have not got any answers from them yet.

Unity doesn't include the option to build for x86_64, but it can build ARM64 (compatible with 64bit ARM c$$anonymous$$ps) w$$anonymous$$ch satisfies Google Play's requirements.

You need to switch the Scripting Backend (in Project Settings > Player > Other Settings) to IL2CPP, and then click the checkbox for ARM64.

Guys.. I ended up by giving up my support to x86/(x86_64 if it was there..) arc$$anonymous$$tectures...

I found a link after hours spent on Google.. and in straight thought: less than 2% devices are using x86/x86_64 cpu arc$$anonymous$$tectures.. Important point is if your App offers support to ChromeBook you will have to wait the Google team provide some workaround... But since it is not my case I unchecked the x86 box on "Player Settings"/"Other Settings"...

Just to give it written: I spent many, many hours trying to fix t$$anonymous$$s issue directly on Unity (I download the 2018.3.14 only to check if it was solved.. and not$$anonymous$$ng), on NDK (I tried to download other versions - But have the correct NDK version for every Unity version).

I'm using Unity versions 2018.2.0 and 2018.3.14 and none of these the x86_64 box appears.

Useful links (the ones where I decided don't offer support to x86 target arc$$anonymous$$tectures):

https://web.arc$$anonymous$$ve.org/web/20170808222202/http://hwstats.unity3d.com:80/mobile/cpu-android.html

Well.. I will go on with t$$anonymous$$s approach... I hope you can find better approach for you. Regards.
