How to make cocos2dx-3.8.1 support android 64-bit

[sharyu]

Hi, I just received notification from Google, all apps must provide 64-bit version by 2019.8.1. Our published game use cocos2dx-3.8.1 and make some changes in engine code. We don’t want to upgrade engine. Is there any way to make cocos2d-x-3.8.1 support android 64-bit?

[Critical] Support for 64bit on cocos2d-x on Android!

I did 3 things: in Application.mk: APP_ABI := armeabi armeabi-v7a arm64-v8a In gradle.properties: PROP_APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a:arm64-v8a In build.gradle(Module: myapp): abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a' Built the project and I now see both the libs when I unzip the apk file. I hope this is all there is to it [image]

Hi, thanks for your reply, this answer is for cocos2dx-3.17.1, and it support android 64-bit. However, in 3.8.1 external libraries doesn’t have 64-bit versions. I tried to copy 64-bit libraries from 3.17.1 to 3.8.1, but meet many compile errors. Does cocos engine team has official way for old versions support android 64-bit?
