Golden Alliance Officially Removes 32-Bit Apps, Affecting 4000+ Apps, 64-Bit Adaptation is Urgent!

Today, the Golden Alliance (Mobile Intelligent Terminal Ecosystem Alliance) issued an important announcement, stating that starting from September 2nd, it will remove apps from its app store that only support 32-bit. This means that apps that have not yet completed 64-bit adaptation will no longer be available for download and update on OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi's app stores. The Golden Alliance will also implement relevant risk reminders for 32-bit apps that are not available.

This move is a necessary measure taken by the Golden Alliance to better improve the Android app compatibility experience and prevent the problem of apps not being able to be installed on new mobile phones in the second half of 2024. As early as April 2023, app stores such as OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi had already clearly defined the relevant time nodes for 64-bit app adaptation. From July 1, 2023, these app stores began to gradually clean up apps that only support 32-bit.

As of August 23, 2024, the full adaptation rate of OPPO, vivo, and Xiaomi's software stores has reached over 99.29%. However, there are still over 4000 key apps that affect users' daily lives that have not adapted to 64-bit, although this number has decreased by over 100 compared to last month, it is still a number that cannot be ignored.

The Golden Alliance previously published an article urging developers to complete 64-bit adaptation by August 31, 2024. However, some developers seem to have not paid much attention to this, resulting in the risk of their apps being removed from the app store. For app developers who have not yet completed 64-bit adaptation, it is now a matter of urgency.

64-bit adaptation can not only improve app performance and stability, but also better utilize device resources, providing users with a smoother experience. At the same time, as future devices continue to upgrade, 64-bit apps will become the mainstream, while 32-bit apps will gradually be phased out. Therefore, developers must complete 64-bit adaptation as soon as possible to ensure that their apps can continue to run normally in the future and remain competitive in the market.

The Golden Alliance's action to remove 32-bit apps will have a profound impact on the entire Android ecosystem. It will accelerate the popularization of 64-bit apps and push Android app development into a new stage. At the same time, it also reminds developers that only by keeping up with the times and continuously improving the quality and performance of their apps can they better meet the needs of users and gain market recognition.
