Error Running ARFoundation App on Android Emulator

Question

I have downloaded the ar foundation app from a course regarding AR Foundation on Coursera. https://www.coursera.org/learn/handheld-ar/ I have successfully run the app on my phone but my phone does not support ARCore, so I went for the emulator. I followed all the instructions on the ARCore Website. But When I install the apk from the unity project and drag-drop on the emulator it gives me String Parse Error

logcat shows:

failed to install my_arr_app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

Can anyone help how to resolve it or how to test my apps to complete the course successfully? Please guide! Thank you in advance

The app is using native libraries compiled for a specific platform. There are multiple different platform types that android supports (armeabi, x86, x86_64, etc.). Depending on the emulator image you are using the app might not include the binaries for your emulator.

You can open the APK in Android Studio (or extract it as a zip) and have a look into the lib folder in the APK. Each subfolder is an architecture name.

Then you can create a new Emulator in the AVD manager and when choosing the system image, select "Other images" and choose one with an ABI which is included in the app.

Answer 2

By the help of @JensV I managed to solve it by choosing the x86 instead of ARMv7. Go to Edit->ProjectSetting->Player->Configuration->Select x86
