Emaultor error: `INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS`

The emulator is unable to install my APK due to the error: InstallException: INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113. I do not see any logical reason why it is failing. Hopefully you can provide some insight.

I am using the following config in my workflow YML file:

- name: Instrumented tests (emulator)
   uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@v2
   with:
     api-level: 29
     # Runs: instrumented tests and creates coverage report for them (does not include unit tests)
     script: ./gradlew --build-cache --console=plain createDebugCoverageReport

Here is a snippet of the relevant stacktraces:

I have used this GH Action on other projects before without issue - so thanks for that 👍

I can provide more info if necessary.

Running ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest also generates the same errors (connectedAndroidTest is a prerequisite of createDebugCoverageReport).

I do not have abiFilter in any of my **/build.gradle files.

As much as I appreciate your help (and if you think of anything, please comment), I’ll close this issue. This issue is not your responsibility as it exists outside of the GitHub Action - it is some combination of my project dependencies and Gradle (but not Android Studio!?).

Thanks for nudging me in the correct direction.

Are you using NDK or any libraries with native dependencies?

This error usually happens when your app uses a native library that’s not available in the CPU architecture of the device. This action only supports the modern system images which only support x86 and x86_64 architectures.

Are you able to run the tests locally on an emulator? What’s the CPU/ABI and Target for the system image?
