[Android-development] ministro and x86/arm

[maitai at virtual-winds.org]

Hello,

I distribute 2 apks (based on qt 5.3.2) for the same application via 
google-play, one for x86 and the other for arm. The only difference 
between the apks is the version code.

According to the documentation, google will deliver the correct apk 
depending on the device, but if a device is capable of running both, it 
will deliver the highest version code. So far so good.

This app is deployed with ministro.

Whatever I do I get some users not able to run the app because either 
ministro downloaded x86 libraries and the apk they get from google is 
compiled for arm, or the opposite. This occurs for instance quite often 
(but not always) with people using a Galaxy tab 3. I get better results 
if I make sure the version code for x86 is higher than the one for arm, 
but even like that I still have cases of not-compatible apk and libs.

Is there anything I can do about that? How is ministro deciding between 
x86 and arm in case a device is capable of both?

Thanks and happy new year to all
Philippe Lelong.
