Can't install e2e apk on Android 12 and higher

[yevh-berdnyk]

Bug Report

Problem

To keep our e2e tests up to date we need to use relevant Android version. SauceLabs emulators are x86_64 only. And now it's not possible to install and use e2e application on such emulators with Android 12 or more.

Expected behavior

The e2e apk is installed on Android 12

Actual behavior

Reproduction

1. Create an Android emulator with x86 or x86_64 ABI and API level 31 or more
2. Try installing e2e application

Additional Information

• Status version: nightly e2e
• Operating System: Android 12 and higher

May be you have an understanding how we can get a compatible build to try it out?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @churik : could you see if installing PRs from #17241 works?
We've bumped up the SDKVersions in the upgrade.

Hi @siddarthkay, I've just tried installing this apk on local Android12 (x86_64) emulator and having the same issue - no matching abis. The same result with the latest apk from the mentioned PR

Maybe we need to switch to x86_64 for e2e.

As I see images starting with android-31 (Android 12) don't support x86 and maybe they expect binaries to be x86_64 too:

❯ sdkmanager --list | grep system-images | grep "google_apis;"| grep x86 | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq
system-images;android-10;google_apis;x86
system-images;android-15;google_apis;x86
system-images;android-16;google_apis;x86

system-images;android-30;google_apis;x86
system-images;android-30;google_apis;x86_64
system-images;android-31;google_apis;x86_64
system-images;android-32;google_apis;x86_64
system-images;android-33;google_apis;x86_64
system-images;android-34;google_apis;x86_64

Let me create a buid for x86_64 to test.

@churik, can you please try this one:
https://ci.status.im/job/status-mobile/job/prs/job/android-e2e/job/PR-17335/1/artifact/result/StatusIm-Mobile-230919-125807-11897b-pr17335-x86_64.apk

I am on ARM cpu, so x86_64 doesn't run without additional setup unfortunately.

hi @yakimant : same thing for me back when I had tried : x86_64 doesn't run without additional setup unfortunately.
I will try on my linux machine tomorrow

[yakimant]

x86 & x86_64 combined:
https://ci.status.im/job/status-mobile/job/prs/job/android-e2e/job/PR-17335/2/artifact/result/StatusIm-Mobile-230919-135732-11897b-pr17335-universal.apk

[yakimant]

This can be tested locally too:

1. Should run x86_64 emulator (check with avdmanager list avd)
2. make run-android should build for x86_64 (see the first lines of log)
   If not - you can also run ANDROID_ABI_INCLUDE=x86_64 make run-android
   to enforce build arch.

@siddarthkay, can you please try to reproduce it locally?

[churik]

So, with builds from #17265 (comment) I'm able to install apk, but it fails after creating the profile (reproduced on both Android 12 and Android 10)

Logcat: logcat (26).log

It is blocker for e2e. Can you please assist @siddarthkay ?
