1505538 - (Fennec-x86_64) Release x86_64 Fennec Nightly in the Google Play Store

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Android Studio and Gradle Integration, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

The Google Play Store will require all apps that ship native code (e.g. Fennec and GV-powered browsers like Focus and Fenix) to ship 64-bit (ARM64 and x86-64) builds by August 2019:

Adding [geckoview:p1] whiteboard label because we must decide whether we want to:

• Ship x86_64 Fennec and GV before August 1
• Or stop updating 32-bit x86 Fennec

Adding [geckoview:fenix:p2] because shipping x86_64 Fennec is a prerequisite for shipping x86_64 Fenix builds.

66=wontfix because we'd like to first publish x86_64 builds in Fennec 67 Nightly (some time after 2019-01-28).

IIUC, Releng just needs to copy the work that was done for ARM64 Fennec in bug 1368484.

Thanks! I see x86_64 Fennec in the Google Play Console alongside x86, armeabi-v7a, and arm64-v8a. I'll be monitoring x86_64 crash reports to see if there are any new x86_64-specific crashes.
