Seems to be Google's enforcing of 64 bit binaries only? Seems they are hinting at that. Lots of android apps are 32 bit only, and Google is starting to ban them. Believe me, with a Pixel phone, you just don't have a choice on the matter.

Oh. I didn't know that was actually an issue under Android. I mean, this is all Java stuff, precompiled bytecode. I also have a Pixel phone, but never noticed anything in that direction.

I have a GOVERNMENT APP failing on me, because the app is 32-bit only. Together with my old beloved long-defunct Swype keyboard, which I can no longer use. And some other apps, too. So, yeah, it's been a frustrating experience.
