List of apks:
[0] 'C:\Users\amete\Documents\AssistX\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk'
Installation failed due to: 'INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113'

what can cause this kind of failiure

Solution

INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS is when you are trying to install an app that has native libraries and it doesn't have a native library for your cpu architecture. For example if you compiled an app for armv7 and are trying to install it on an emulator that uses the Intel architecture instead it will not work. - make sure your have all supported architecture added in your project

Add ndk.filters in your app/build.gradle files

  compileSdkVersion 30
   defaultConfig {
       appId "com.example.64bit"
       minSdkVersion 21
       targetSdkVersion 30
       versionCode 1
       versionName "1.0"
       ndk.abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a', 'x86', 'x86_64'

Refer official docs for 64-bit support or the official video
