I’m using latest r19.
But I didn’t publish it yet to Play Market (currently on market game built with r17c)

dimon4eg · February 3, 2019, 4:16am

Should but who knows, on market plenty of different devices

I’m using r16 because as i know, is the last version tested by cocos team. Or i’m wrong?

You should use the same what was used to build cocos: ndk16.
“All libraries should be generated with the same NDK version.”

is it possible to see which NDK was used for 3.17.1 ?

I think it might be r18b since the new template has minSDK at 16 , and api 14&15 were removed in r18b

We still used NDK16.

IzzyJM · February 10, 2019, 11:45pm

I see what you mean in the link but I think it means not to use 2 different NDKs to compile your project ? so if cocos team used NDK 16 to compile , but you use NDK 19 to compile your project it will be ok ? (correct me if im wrong)

The saftest option: compile everything (including cocos2dx prebuilds) in exactly the same environment: the same ndk, compiler, compiler options etc

Using different ndks may work or not …
