Does your app on google play store supports 64-bit architecture? Follow these 4 simple steps to make your app 64 bit ready. If not, make sure it does because starting August 1, 2019, the apps published on Google Play will need to support 64-bit architectures along with 32-bit architecture. Since apps with 64-bit CPUs deliver fast, rich experiences to app users & will ensure users have the best experience possible on the Android platform.
1. Assess your app The very first step is to check whether you app is ready for 64-bit service or not. If your app uses only code written in the Java programming language or Kotlin, with any libraries or SDKs, your app is already ready for 64-bit devices. But, if your app uses any native code, or you aren't sure if it does, assess your app and take the required action.
To assess your app check following If your app uses any C/C++ (native) code. Are there any links with third party native libraries. Is built by a third-party app builder uses native libraries. Check if your app uses 64-bit libraries. Use APK Analyzer, a tool to evaluate various aspects of a built APK. Use it to find any native libraries, and ensure 64-bit libraries are present. Look for native libraries by unzipping APKs.
2. Build Your App with 64-bit libraries Build using Android Studio or Gradle Build using CMake Build using ndk-build Reduce size of app with Android App Bundle Game developers take a sigh of relief, because Google very well understands that migrating a third-party game engine is an intensive process with long lead times. Thankfully, the three most used engines all currently support 64-bit which are: Unreal since 2015 Cocos2d since 2015 Unity since 2018
3. Test Your App The 64-bit version of the app should offer the same quality and feature set as the 32-bit version. So, make sure to test your app on the latest 64-bit devices which will thus allow users to a great experience in your app. 4. Publish When your app is ready, publish your 64-bit architecture supporting app as normal. Do follow the best practices for deploying your app. When rolling out an major update, cross check & make sure you have thoroughly tested your app on 64-bit-capable devices before publishing to a larger audience.
