    Same error on Unity 2020.3.12f1c1 LTS.
    Adding android:extractNativeLibs="true" to the element in AndroidManifest.xm
    or
    Adding android.bundle.enableUncompressedNativeLibs=false to gradle properties
    won't walk around

    Still having this problem in Unity 2020.3.2f1, I'm using the Play Asset Delivery and its plugin to generate the build, which can be seen at "developer.android.com" (not a verified link apparently)

    I don't think using a custom gradle property template would work

    Apologies, didnt realize my link wouldnt work. These are the lines I commented to work around the issue:

    // Android Resolver Exclusions Start
    android {
    packagingOptions {
    /*exclude ('/lib/arm64-v8a/*' + '*')
    exclude ('/lib/armeabi/*' + '*')
    exclude ('/lib/mips/*' + '*')
    exclude ('/lib/mips64/*' + '*')
    exclude ('/lib/x86/*' + '*')
    exclude ('/lib/x86_64/*' + '*')*/
    }
    }

    This is also happening on Unity 2019.4.17f1

    Workaround is commenting out the following exclusions on the mainTemplate.gradle file:

    These exclusions uncomment themselves after building, but it works.

    Currently we can't upvote this because it is marked as "fixed", but I'm clearly experiencing this in 2020.3.0f1.

    Temp workaround:

    Build APK instead of App Bundle.

    Repeating what I said here (https://forum.unity.com/threads/app-not-working-on-some-devices-failed-to-load-libmain-so.1031137/?gq=libmain.so), in case it's useful for some people:

    This is still an issue with 2020.3.0f1 (also the gradle.properties workaround is not working in my Flutter project either).

    EDIT:

    Actually adding android:extractNativeLibs="true" to the element in AndroidManifest.xml as a temporary workaround does work with 2020.3.0f1. This might be specific to my version of Gradle (per | Android Developers, this is set to false by default in Android Gradle plugin 3.6.0).

    This isn't a long-term solution as Unity should be able to handle loading native libraries without extracting to the filesystem first.

    I also confirm this is still present in 2021.1.0b11

    @NIK_D I've added that, resubmitted a build and had the same issue occur. Have you tested that with a live build in the Play Store and had success?
