I have a problem. My phone is too low-qual to even have USB drivers for it, so sending APKs to it is a slow affair.
An Intel HAXM emulator runs OK, but will not load the APKs generated
by HaxeFlixel/FlashDevelop, citing error INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS
because they’re made for ARM. I’d run the ARM emulator, but it’s hella
slow (my laptop is mid-low-range, 4 GB of RAM, Win7.)
Is there a way to generate Intel APKs so that one can test them in an Android emulator at a reasonable speed?
I believe we support x86 support, can try using architecture tags in the XML to try it (this might actually be the default lime test android -emulator behavior)
Oh my, I had searched http://www.openfl.org/documentation/projects/project-files/xml-format/ for ‘intel’ and found nothing. Of course it’s called “X86”…
Thanks for your help 
OK, now it uploads to the emulator successfully.
But as soon as I launch the app within the emulator, it immediately closes (“Unfortunately, myapp has stopped.”) (This doesn’t happen when I generate an ARM apk and post it on Google Play and install it on a real phone–then things worked fine, but that’s a pretty slow cycle to go through for testing.) The emulator is API 21, and my project.xml has:
<window if="mobile" fullscreen="true" width="0" height="0" />
<android minimum-sdk-version="19" />
<android target-sdk-version="21" />
<android install-location="preferExternal" unless="debug" /><!-- debug mode makes this fail on emu inst: INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR / No content provider found for permission revoke -->
<icon path="media-source/icon.svg"/>
<architecture name="x86" if="android debug" />
The logcat has this to say:

Emulator without GPU emulation detected
This sounds like it’s not supporting OpenGL ES in the emulator?
Is that the same thing as the “use host GPU” option of the emulator? I believe I had tried that (since it’s supported by API 16+ or something like that, IIRC, and although I initially wanted to target lower, I was trying higher APIs to see if my problems went away) and could not boot the emulator. But let me try again.
Well, it boots with “use host GPU.” Trying an APK…OK, this wasn’t the one I was trying before (I thought I’d take a simpler example ( https://github.com/GimmickyApps/HaxeFlixelDevRepros/tree/ab14ee018e123f1788b67815b57c94eba8104826 ); it has minimum API 15–21 gives the same–and target 21), but now the app gives a blank screen without a crash, and see the output of my trace() calls too. The output was:
