Error: Installation of the app failed on bundletool install-apks command

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Hi! I’m trying to install the .apks on my Nexus 6P but I’m getting [BT:0.4.1] Error: Installation of the app failed. 100% of the time, but when I try to install on my Asus Zenfone Go it works. I tried signing with release keys, debug keys, building from command line and Android Studio but no success. I have some native/cpp code in my app and I got this abi related error once: E/SplitApkInstaller: Failed to finalize session : INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113, weird that this error just showed up once.

Bundletool version(s) affected Version: 0.4.1

To Reproduce

./gradlew clean cleanBuildCache bundleRelease
java -jar bundletool.jar build-apks --bundle=./bundle.aab --output=./my_app.apks --ks=./release.keystore --ks-pass=pass:[pass] --ks-key-alias=[alias] --key-pass=pass:[pass]
java -jar bundletool.jar install-apks --apks=./my_app.apks

Expected behavior I expect the app to be installed in my Nexus 6P like it does for the Asus Zenfone go.

Environment: OS: macOS high sierra 10.13.4
