Unable to launch a UE5 mobile game on android emulator - Looked for -x86 error

I am using UE 5.0.1 and created a scalable mobile game from the started kit and wanted to test it on the Android emulator from android studio

The project is targeting API level 32 and used 64_86 image on the emulator

Whenever its getting the launching stage I get this error :

LogPlayLevel: Error: ERROR: Unable to run because you don’t have an apk that is usable on emulator-5554. Looked for -x86

The emulator device is discovered correctly and I can see it in the device manager and adb devices

The generated files seem to be correct, and I am able to install it on the emulator device by running this file Install_AndroidQuickStart-arm64.bat :

I am unable to select this settings because its greyed out and I cannot unselect the arm64-v8a to select this one

I tried several emulators and I always get the same result. I want to be able to start the games on the emulator quickly for faster iteration

Has anyone seen this before ? do you know how to resolve this ?

If you want to enable x86_64 support, youll have to get the UE5 source from github EpicGames/UnrealEngine: Unreal Engine source code (github.com)

You can follow this documentation:
Downloading Unreal Engine Source Code | Unreal Engine Documentation

After following the documentation linked above, youll be able to Enable [Support x86_64] [aka x64]
