I’ve got an old Nexus 9 tablet running Android 7.1
MonoGame is failing to start because it can’t find libGLESv1_CM.so
I see in the source code where it is trying to load it, but I don’t know what this library does or why it is failing on this particular device.
Found the following error in the logs:
07-27 18:28:33.508 V/AndroidGameView( 7018): GLES 0.0 Not Supported. Bad Match
I had this bug too in my Xiaomi Redmi 4 (Android 7.1 API 25). I tried building from assembly but I was getting this same error that it could not find libGLESv1_CM.so.
The app was specifically not working on this model. I could successfully install and run it on Emulator as well as another android phone (of API 28, if I’m not wrong).
In the end I downgraded from Monogame 3.7 to 3.6 and finally it worked.
