Notes on dealing with Google Play's 64-bit requirement in an old cocos project
I've got an old project, and to solve the problem of Google requiring 64-bit support, I was getting ready to upgrade cocos a bit — then found out it wasn't necessary. Supposedly you just need to compile a 64-bit build. I vaguely remember deleting arm64-v8a back then. Google's guide: https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/64-bit#test\_your\_app\_on\_64-bit\_hardware describes three cases — building with Gradle, with CMake, with ndk-build — and they're all different. From my testing, cocos2dx turns out to be ndk-build mode, which depends on the PROP\_APP\_ABI setting in gradle.properties.
