Why doesn't it work with pixels? What is different?
Pixel doesn’t support running applications built for ARMv7, only ARM64. Not my problem. Google doesn’t care about backward binary compatibility. There isn’t a technical reason why Pixel can’t run these apps - their CPUs are capable of running 32bit code. ARM is dropping 32 bit support unlike x86_64 but as far as I know all or nearly all currently available devices still have it, only Pixel intentionally disabled ability to run these apps.
