INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS

What does

Answer 1

I'm posting an answer from another thread because it's what worked well for me, the trick is to add support for both architectures :

Posting this because I could not find a direct answer and had to look at a couple of different posts to get what I wanted done...

I was able to use the x86 Accelerated (HAXM) emulator by simply adding this to my Module's build.gradle script Inside android{} block:

splits {
        abi {
            enable true
            reset()
            include 'x86', 'armeabi-v7a'
            universalApk true
        }
    }

Run (build)... Now there will be a (yourapp)-x86-debug.apk in your output folder. I'm sure there's a way to automate installing upon Run but I just start my preferred HAXM emulator and use command line:

adb install (yourapp)-x86-debug.apk

Answer 2

this worked for me ... Android > Gradle Scripts > build.gradle (Module:app) add inside android*

android {
  //   compileSdkVersion 27
     defaultConfig {
        //
     }
     buildTypes {
        //
     }
    // buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'

    splits {
           abi {
                 enable true
                 reset()
                 include 'x86', 'armeabi-v7a'
                 universalApk true
               }
    }
 }

Answer 3

I faced this issue when moved from Android 7(Nougat) to Android 8(Oreo).

I have tried several ways listed above and to my bad luck nothing worked.

So i changed the .apk file to .zip file extracted it and found lib folder with which this file was there /x86_64/darwin/libscrypt.dylib so to remove this i added a code in my build.gradle module below android section (i.e.)

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'lib/x86_64/darwin/libscrypt.dylib'
    exclude 'lib/x86_64/freebsd/libscrypt.so'
    exclude 'lib/x86_64/linux/libscrypt.so'
}

Cheers issue solved
