I build both 32 bit and 64 for google mandatory requirement and when I zipaligned the 32 bit, I use -f -v 4 as alignment, but how about for 64 bit should we still use 4 or should increased it to 8?

@Joe Axwvhvm​ can you please look into this.

Zipalign documentation doesn't mention any changes to be done to the command with respect to 64 bit APK , hence you still need to use 4 Byte boundary as you did with 32 bit.

https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/zipalign

You can post a direct query on Google tracker links indicated below.

How ever, I would say you can do an experiment with 8 Byte boundary as argument for 64 bit apk and if installation of APK works and boots up properly you can post a query/doc bug on relevant Google issue tracker links below with your experimentation results.

As google/Android team is the right team to comment on the caveats of the zip align .

Thank you for the fast response. I did experiment to upload multiple apk 32bit 4bytes and 64bit 8bytes, and I didn't get any errors or complains from google store.

The app also installed and run just fine on 32bit device and 64bit device.
