Flutter needs to declare abiFilters for only supported architectures by default #153476
Description
Steps to reproduce
Flutter does not set abiFilters in its default flutter create template, which means that without intervention, apps published to the Play Store all declare that they will run on x86 (x86_32), which is not (and never will be) supported by Flutter.
Users with x86 devices who install the app from Google Play will be met with a crash, which is logged in Crashlytics as java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: library "libflutter.so" not found.
This issue is forked from #151638 at the request of @danagbemava-nc, who said:
It appears there was an attempt to add this in #135529 but it was later reverted in #142089 and it must have dropped off everyone's radar. Can you file a new proposal for adding it?
Expected results
Flutter should opt-in to all of its supported architectures by default using ndk.abiFilters.
Actual results
Failing to set abiFilters means that the app can run on all architectures supported on Google Play, which simply does not reflect reality.
Code sample
Code sample
android/app/build.gradle should include something like this when flutter create is called:
android {
defaultConfig {
ndk.abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a', 'x86_64'
}
