So in fact the only great thing now for x86 and x86-64 is the high speed
emulator.
Makes it strange right, there are almost no x86 or x86-64 real phones,
but in Android Studio you see as of Android 8 and up only x86 system
images and no ARM at all.
I don't get it, where is the logic behind this.

Actually after some research, I've decided not to bother with x86
builds. There are only one or two models that support it and those are
very old. The current user base is a fraction of one percent according
to some charts. Support for x86 chips on mobile devices apparently was
dropped some years ago.
One stackOverflow comment implied that x86 would be useful if we
wanted to support Chromebooks, but those machines work well with
32-bit Android apps and LC doesn't officially support Chromebooks anyway.
If anyone has other info, hopefully they'll chime in here.

It didn't make sense to me, but I saw no explanation about that part

anywhere.
Full speed ahead. (ish)
I am struggling a bit getting it to work in the emulator.... it seems
like
I can only do ARM architecture on V7 or below in the emulator. And using
an X86 emulator gives me the "NO_MATCHING_ABM" error when I hit test.
But at least there are no permanent obstacles.
:) Thanks again.

LC uses the SDK primarily for its build tools, which allow the IDE to
create standalones for Android. The SDK does not affect the versions of
Android your app will require. For years we built apks using SDK 6, and
apps built using those tools still run on Android 10 today.
A while back the SDK 6 build tools no longer worked with the current
version of LC and we had to update to SDK 8 for compatibility. I am
building apks with that SDK that run on all versions of Android from
4.x
on
up to 10.
The Android versions you want to support are set in standalone
settings.
