Google has revealed plans to require Android apps in the Google Play Store be available as 64-bit software, as part of moves to improve the performance and security of Android apps.
The requirement will apply to new apps in the Play Store from August 2019, in a shift away from 32-bit software.
“For apps that use native libraries, 64-bit code typically offers significantly better performance, with additional registers and new instructions,” Google noted on its Android developer blog.
64-bit apps have been supported ever since Android 5.0 Lollipop in 2015, but developers weren’t required to create 64-bit versions of their native apps.
