title: android release app bundle build missing native lib .so files
body: <p><strong>case</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have an app</p>
  
  <p>when i work with it in debug mode everything is ok !</p>
  
  <p>but when i try to build apk bundle for release and try to install app through play store
  the is missing the .so files
  i reverse- engineered the apk and couldn't find a single .so file or any lib folder</p>
  
  <p>but when i analyse the bundle using play console and android studio it contains all the abi folders with respective .so files </p>
  
  <p>this is my app gradle file</p>

  <p><strong>what all i have tried</strong></p>
  
  <p>i have tried putting ndkFilters, splits, abis, disabling progaurd, etc. in gradle file </p>
  
  <p>but no luck</p>
  
  <p><strong>i think</strong></p>
  
  <p>play console is failing to distribute the lib to respective abis</p>
  
  <p><strong>request</strong></p>
  
  <p>anyone got any clue of it please tell me <strong><code>_/\_</code></strong></p>
  
  <p>thank you</p>
