Google Sign-In & APK/ARM Support Issue on ATV13 Image

[Goldenfreddy0703]

Description:
I’m unable to sign into Google on the Android TV 13 image installed via the testing branch of this installer. In addition, I can’t install ARMv7 or ARMv8 APKs on that image — it looks like neither libndk nor libhoudini are working correctly with the ATV13 image.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Install Android TV 13 (ATV13) image using the testing branch script.
2. Boot into Waydroid.
3. Try signing in to a Google account via Play Services / Google apps.
4. Try installing an ARMv7 or ARMv8 APK (e.g., from waydroid app install).
5. Observe the APK install fails or is reported as incompatible.

Expected Behavior:

• Google sign-in should work with the Android TV 13 image when GApps are included.
• ARM APKs should install and run when libndk or libhoudini is applied.

Actual Behavior:

• Google sign-in immediately fails or loops back to the sign-in screen.
• ARM APKs refuse to install, indicating ARM translation/emulation is not functioning.

Notes / Context:

• Community reports suggest ARM translation layers (libndk/libhoudini) can be unstable or unsupported on Android 13 Waydroid images.
• I tested libndk and libhoudini both separately and together, but ARM APK installation still fails.

Questions:

• Is ARM translation officially supported on ATV13 images in the testing branch?
• Are additional configuration steps required to enable libndk or libhoudini?
• Is one translation method preferred over the other for Android TV 13?

I’m happy to provide logs or test additional configurations if needed.

i've asked supechicken for clarification regarding arm translation layer. previous images contains libndk arm translation layer. i have a hunch the newer builds are just gapps / no gapps and will need to install arm translation layer manually.

this will get fixed on the next release of the script
