Google Play Store was not accepting my 32 bit apk. So I followed the instruction from this link https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/issues/1519 to change the android.arch to arm64-v8a in the buildozer spec file. I did exactly that. Here are all the steps that I took:

1. Change android.arch from armeabi-v7a to arm64-v8a. Save the spec file.
2. Run sudo buildozer android release . Get an unsigned apk file.
3. Run zipalign -v -p 4 kindact-0.1-release-unsigned.apk kindact-0.1-release-unsigned-aligned.apk to get an aligned apk.
4. Copy that file along with the key file into a folder contained apksigner. 
5. Run sudo ./apksigner sign --ks my-release-key.jks --out kindact-release.apk kindact-0.1-release-unsigned-aligned.apk to get a signed apk.
6. Upload that file to the App Releases in Google Play Store.

I get the same error "This release is not compliant with the Google Play 64-bit requirement.The following APKs or App Bundles are available to 64-bit devices, but they only have 32-bit native code: 7212." as in the 32 bit version, before editing the buildozer spec file.

On the same Google Play Store page, I click on the dropdown of the apk and the Native platforms is still showing armeabi-v7a. enter image description here I try uploading 1 32 bit apk and 1 64 bit apk as suggested here Kivy and Google Play 64-bit but still get the same error. enter image description here

What did I do wrong? Please help.

  • I think buildozer/p4a has just cached the previous (armeabi-v7a) build. Try deleting the .buildozer directory in your app dir and running the build again, this should refresh everything. This behaviour is a bug, it will be fixed in the next buildozer and p4a releases. – inclement Oct 10 '19 at 21:58
