Hello everyone

I’m deploying a VR cardboard game on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and it seems like when I install it via the bat file generated by the packaging process the app doesn’t show up in the phone. After various tries I noticed that if I package the game with armv7 it works normally and it’s installed as it should ( shows up on the phone and works ). But if I package it using the arm64 support the app installs without any errors but it doesn’t show up on the phone which means I can’t even launch it.

I tried to install the arm64 one on a Huawei Honor 5X and it worked normally, but I want to make it work on the galaxy note 4 because it’s the phone we’re working with for our project ( undergraduate project ).

So I’d really want to know how to make the arm64 version work with the note 4, unless the vr apps doesn’t require arm64 to work perfectly ( means I can package using armv7 without any loss of performance or cause any problem ) then I’ll just simply package in armv7.

Note: the problem is not in the android SDK, I tried these combinations :

armv7 : worked on both phones
arm64 : worked on the huawei but not on the samsung
