App crash due to missing libraries for `x86`, `armeabi-v7a`, `armeabi`

[shakil-bin-karim]

Description

We are encountering a crash in our Android app for some phones when using the Rive Android library. The app crashes on startup with the following error:

androidx.startup.StartupException: com.getkeepsafe.relinker.MissingLibraryException: Could not find 'librive-android.so'. Looked for: [x86, armeabi-v7a, armeabi], but only found: [arm64-v8a].

This indicates that the librive-android.so native library is missing for certain architectures, specifically x86, armeabi-v7a, and armeabi. The app only includes the library for the arm64-v8a architecture.

Provide a Repro

The crash occurs when running the app on devices with architectures other than arm64-v8a, such as armeabi-v7a or x86.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Integrate the Rive Android library into your Android app.
2. Build and run the app on device with an armeabi-v7a or x86 architecture.
3. Observe that the app crashes on startup with the missing library error.

Source .riv/.rev file

N/A – The issue occurs during app initialization, before any .riv files are loaded.

Expected behavior

The app should start without crashing, and the librive-android.so library should be correctly loaded for all supported architectures (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, etc.).

Screenshots

N/A

Device & Versions (please complete the following information)

• Device: Various devices with devices with no arm64-v8a architecture from manufactures like ZTE, Oppo, Older Samsung devices, etc.
• SDK Level: Android SDK API Level 35
