Android Studio to Drop Support for 32-bit Systems
Google has today announced that Android Studio will be dropping support for 32-bit PCs starting in 2020 as it pushes to the more efficient 64-bit processing that’s gone mainstream for some years now.
As Google moves away from 32-bit processing, the company will end update support for the 32-bit version of Android Studio IDE 3.6 on December 31st, 2019. From that point, there will be one year of product support, with Google pulling all support and download links on December 31st, 2020.
As for the Android Emulator, it will be deprecated on 32-bit systems with version 28.0.25 from June 30th, 2019. All support for that version will also end at the end of 2020.
Google explains that running Android Studio on 64-bit systems versus 32-bit enables a “better development experience” with IDE and the Android Emulator seeing more “efficient access to memory.”
The timing of this also lines up with Google’s requirement for all Play Store apps to have 64-bit versions available.
