Deployment failed. Architecture not supported.

Hi

I am getting the below error while deploying..

The package does not support the device architecture (x86). You can change the supported architectures in the Android Build section of the Project Options.

    Have you changed the supported architecture as the error message suggests? If so, did this solve your deployment issue?

    It seems this issue keeps appearing infrequently after updating various modules. The update screenshot of @ClarkCole was helpful, though it is now a bit outdate with more checkboxes in it.

    That's great, I too have the same problem.
    1. Just changed Android Build -> Advanced tab -> armeabi-v7a and x86.
    It working fine for me.

    You've to open the Options of the Droid Project.
    Then go to Android Options -> Advanced and mark x86 while having 'Release' selected as Configuration.

    Very useful, thanks a lot!!!!

    Thanks @JayakumarVnayagam, that got me going with Visual Studio's Android Emulator.

    @JamesMontemagno Wow I remember reading that a year or two ago and just not getting it. Now it makes perfect sense and addresses this problem. Sweet.

  • SamSmith.1698SamSmith.1698 USMember ✭

    Thanks - VS2015 -> project properties for my app -> Android Options -> Config=Release -> and then ticked all options, including "X86".

    And somehow, it now deploys to my Samsung Galaxy 5, no issue.......

  • SamSmith.1698SamSmith.1698 USMember ✭

    Aahhhhh - I was deploying it to GenyMotion - which makes sense now why I needed the X86 option ticked.....

    Actually when I deploy to my own Samsung device, I don't need X86......

    This issue is because of wrong architecture selection in Android option.
    To select the corect archicture Please select the following options.
    1. Right Click on Your Android Project.
    2. Go to Properties
    3. Select Android Option
    4. Scroll down to see the Advance Option.click this Advance Option.
    5. A popup will open with the supported acchicture.
    6. Mostly X86 archicture will work,but you can try with other archicture also.

    Just change your build option from debug to release , normally happens when u want to test with emulator

  • Bakkesh_SABakkesh_SA Member ✭

    All I did is changing the "solution configuration" from "Release" to "Debug"
    TA-DA, it worked!!! - the project deployed successfully and reflected in the Emulator.
