Flutter app crashes on /lib/arm64 - couldn't find "libflutter.so"

Question

I recently released my application on the Play Store and I've been receiving a large number of crash reports as below.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.mynewsapp/com.mynewsapp.MainActivity}: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.mynewsapp-gPJd8MyNcgdyJYrEzcZOUw==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.mynewsapp-gPJd8MyNcgdyJYrEzcZOUw==/lib/arm64, /system/lib64, /product/lib64]]] couldn't find "libflutter.so"

We know flutter doesn't support x86 on aab but this is happening from lib/arm64 couldn't find "libflutter.so". Hence i extracted the aab file which i released and it has only these folders under lib arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, and x86_64.

Can anyone help me to solve this? Why arm64 folder not there? And who are those users?

Answer 1

I am having the same issue.

The error came from Google Play automated tests. You can see it by looking at "Testing", "Pre-Launch Report", "Details" (see image).

If you click on "Show more" button, and scroll down, it shows a Google Wear (virtual) device (x86). I am not targeting wear devices, so this seems to be a glitch with Google Play Store, which you can ignore (if this is your case).
