Installing Facebook.apk on emulator

I get the following message when I try to install Facebook-11.apk on the emulator:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS]

I've found this and it wasn't very helpful. My emulator's Image is Intel Atom (x86_x64) (API 21).

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a solution to this. Thanks in advance!

I did it on emulators from Android Studio. Basically you can use any ARM emulator but they are slow as hell, so I do not recommend them. In order to use x86:

  1. Go to https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebook-2/facebook/variant-%7B%22arches_slug%22%3A%5B%22x86%22%5D%7D/ and download any app you like (but you will have to try some of them, e.g. first one at the moment I was writing this answer did not work on x86 emulator)
  2. Download the selected apk.
  3. Drag'n'drop it on the launched emulator.

Whooorey!

For google searchers out there - Use Genymotion if you want to check your app with the Facebook app.

As mentioned - you can't install Facebook apk on Intel-based images.
