Hello , regarding the information listed on this page : How do I join and test the Beta app? – Dronelink

The DJI Smart Controller is listed to use the 64 bit APK .
Since the ABI for the DJI RC Smart Controller is armeabi-v7a , can you confirm the 64 bit version is the correct Dronelink APK to use ?

It is correct.
Just to be clear, you stated “DJI RC” which is not supported regardless of drone. If it’s the RC Pro or one of the others then depending on which drone those will work.

Apologies, I just saw smart controller. DJI RC (not called Smart Controller) is not supported as Mike says.
DJI's product naming ranges from random, to vague, to outright frustrating! : )
Totally Agree, I'm never sure which one of those controllers with the inbuilt screen is which (I think the term smart controller is a bit of a misnomer, as due to the lack of network connection without attaching to a mobile hotspot they aren't at all smart, and as for that diddy little screen)
Right so for the DJI RC I will have to use the 32-bit package . That's what I was assuming .
No the DJI RC IS NOT SUPPORTED see Jim's last comment
Regarding the unsupported link which was posted earlier (https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/articles/16359891190931-Why-is-the-DJI-RC-not-supported-)
"The DJI RC cannot run any 3rd party applications, such as Dronelink"
It definately can install 3rd party applications . Maybe not officially , but it definately can .
That's exactly the reason why I wanted to know which package would be needed .
Ollaa
It says the device is not supported "due to no DJI SDK support for this device."
That means that DJI has not released software to allow it to control drones from that device. It does not mean that you can't install other applications on it. It's a DJI restriction, not an Android restriction.
DJI modified the version of Android on the device to make it “difficult” for “normal” people to install 3rd party APKs, probably because why allow something that the DJI SDK doesn’t support anyway.
In addition to this, the DJI RC is a minimum powered device and not the right platform to try to run many third party apps.
