Sound like ESbuild should support aarch64(64bit).

I am finding the issue for esbuild for 64 bit.
What i found is that esbuild is support for 32bit system. #550

Both arm32 and arm64 are supported, but on Linux. I believe the issue is that you are trying to run esbuild on Android which is not yet supported.

You should be able to build esbuild for Android by installing Go, cloning this repo, and running this command:

GOOS="android" GOARCH="arm64" go build "-ldflags=-s -w" -o ./esbuild ./cmd/esbuild

From there you should be able to copy the ./esbuild binary over to your Android device (if you're not compiling it on Android itself) and then run this command on your Android device to verify that the compiled executable is working:

./esbuild --version

Does esbuild successfully print out the version when you follow those instructions?

[theaungmyatmoe]

Ok,I I have been built this repo and it working now.

make

is working as well like

GOOS="android" GOARCH="arm64" go build "-ldflags=-s -w" -o ./esbuild ./cmd/esbuild

When I test this , it is not working for non-root user.
I am trying to give permission like chmod -R 777 project-dir not working.
It should work for non-root user.

> error: Cannot read directory "../../../../../..": permission denied

[evanw]

Are you saying that running the command ./esbuild --version gives the permission denied error?

[theaungmyatmoe]

No sorry,
./esbuild test.js
Get access denied error.
Just watching the version of esbuild was not not give me error.

[evanw]

The path resolver in esbuild currently assumes that it can traverse from the root directory to the current directory. I'm not a Unix permissions expert but I believe if that's not the case you'll get an EACCES permission denied error like this. If Android's file system permissions don't let you list the contents of one of the parent directories, then perhaps esbuild won't work on Android.

[theaungmyatmoe]

In Android , root permission is need to find /.
By rooting the device , we can get the standard directory like /,/etc and etc.
If not we cannot access to the /.
So , directory permission is denied.
Eesbuild is search / directory to start.
So, esbuild is not work for non-root-user devices.
So,I cann solve by rooting to my device.
Rooting to my device is not necessary,if I rooted to device warranty is broken.
I think ESbuild should do in the current directory instead of start searching from /.

I am sorry for reopening this, but I recently tried to setup an Android phone for Web Development with esbuild and got this same error, however, I was able to build esbuild from source directly on Android with no problem using the recommended script:

git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.9.6 https://github.com/evanw/esbuild.git
cd esbuild
go build ./cmd/esbuild

I am not sure if I am bringing new light to the matter.

esbuild has become a key piece in my development setup (thank you!), but since I am not able to install it normally via npm/yarn on Android, I am forced to run additional AD HOC steps (like building and copying it to node_modules/esbuild/bin).

Is it possible to include support for "android arm64 LE" on the normal npm/yarn installation flow?

[evanw]

Yes this is now unblocked because #938 has since been fixed. It should now be possible to ship an Android build. I'll do this in an upcoming release.

Is there already a solution for that?

What do you mean? A solution for what? Support for ARM 64-bit Android was released a while ago in version 0.9.7.

[mutheusalmeida]

I'm still getting the same error

What about the support for ARM 32-bit?

[theaungmyatmoe]

Yes it is working in aarch64android device.
