Is it necessary to add arm64-v8a in build.gradle file when using NDK libraries

I am using NDK libraries in my app, these are the settings in my gradle file. 

  defaultConfig {

        applicationId 'com.aa.aa'
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        resConfigs "en"
        ndk {
            abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a','x86'
        }
    }

But now if i upload my apk on play store, it give me error message that, my app is cont complaint with 64-bit architecture.

Now if i add arm64-v8a, i am able to upload the build on playstore.

  defaultConfig {

        applicationId 'com.aa.aa'
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        resConfigs "en"
        ndk {
            abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a','arm64-v8a','x86','x86_64'
        }
    }

My questions is that is that is it necessary to add arm64-v8a in build.gradle file when using NDK libraries.

If taken literally, your question can be answered "No". If you remove the whole abiFilters line from build.gradle, your app will be built for 64-bit as well.

To have native 64-bit compatibility is a Play Store requirement, and for app updates it is being enforced since August 2019. If you use other mechanisms to deliver your app, arm64-v8a is not necessary.
