How to fix INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS error while installing apk in Genymotion

Genymotion is a faster android emulator(Virtual Android Environment) built on x86 and Virtualbox. Its performance is much better than the Google's Android SDK Emulator as it is not an ARM emulator.

However in the latest Genymotion updates, they have removed both the ARM Translation and Google Play Apps. So, when you are trying to install an app which has native libraries but doesn't have a native library for your CUP architecture. For example, if an app is compiled for armv7 and we try to install it on the emulator that uses the Intel architecture instead, it will not work and will give you an error INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS .

To make the app to work in both the CPU architectures, we need to install the ARM Translation.
Steps for installation:

1. Download the ARM Translation from the link Genymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1.zip
2. Open the Genymotion emulator and be in the home screen
3. Install the downloaded ARM Translation. To installed just you need to drag and drop the zip file in the Genymotion emulator window. Click 'Ok' if it prompts after the 'file transfer in progress' operation
4. Restart the Genymotion emulator(using adb or close and open)

Now install the application(by using adb or just drag and drop the apk into the emulator window), you shouldn't see any error such as INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS and the application should be installed successfully.

Hope it helps!
