   Hi @Pranathi-Cumulations this has been reported here and it is currently believed to be related only to Play Store devices and not to real users.
   Going to close this issue for now, if you have a more detailed report and a repro we'd be happy to take a look at this!

   Hi @umberto-sonnino,

   It seems this issue still persists. Although I can't reproduce it on my end, we've received several reports from version 9.3.6 indicating the following error:

   "Could not find 'librive-android.so'. Looked for: [arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, armeabi], but only found: []."

   @jamesonwilliams We recently released an improvement to ReLinker where we now include the recursively() flag. This was in 10.1.6. Could you give that a try and see if it improves things for you?

    We are seeing the same error when using rive-react-native version 9.5.0 which internally uses rive-android 10.4.1. This is the error:
