Camera crash on Pixel 7 (API 34) – "Unexpected CPU variant" regression

[NoahHellen]

My Maestro tests started failing on camera initialisation recently, despite working perfectly with the exact same configuration a few months ago.

When navigating to a camera view, the app hangs on a loading state.

• Native Camera App: Works fine (likely using Legacy Camera1 API).

• My App: Fails (uses Jetpack CameraX / Camera2 API).

Comparing successful logs from months ago and now, the follow error appears in the failing runs:

W android.camera2: Unexpected CPU variant for x86: x86_64

W android.camera2: Known variants: atom, sandybridge, silvermont, goldmont, goldmont-plus, tremont, kabylake, default

I have tested a few different solutions but none seem to work (e.g. testing different API levels, devices, etc.). Using Pixel 6 with API level 30 still produces the same error.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this issue?

This CPU variant thing might not be the core issue, it is just the only real difference I could find in the successful and failed logs.

Hi @NoahHellen

Has Jetpack CameraX recently dropped support for x86? That would be my initial guess of the issue.

Ah that might have been it. I use react-native-vision-camera which I believe uses JetPack CameraX. Switching to expo-camera solved this for me. Thank you @riglar for your help!
