Steps to ready your app for Google Play Updates- Aug 2019

You might have been notified from the Google Play store, that your 32 bit App in Play store is going to expire. And that you need to upgrade it to the 64-bit app. This is because Google wants to ensure that the apps in the Play store support the latest Android Devices.

In case if you wondering What a 64-bit app is, let me explain it ahead.

The 64-bit app updates are to ensure high performance and security for all the apps. By August 1st of 2019, Google is expecting all the existing apps in the store and the new apps to update their native libraries with the 64-bit version. It doesn’t mean that 32-bit apps are going to be removed from the store. It’s just, besides 32-bit app, your app need the 64-bit version. This is to make sure that the app is supported in all the latest Android devices

This change is not going to affect you if your app works in Java or Kotlin, as it already supports 64-bit.

Whereas, you need to consider building a 64-bit version if

• Your app has a native code ( possibly C or C++).
• The app is connected to a Third Parties Native Libraries.
• Your App is been build by an app builder that use Native Libraries.
