According to @nahuhh these binaries haven't worked in years (see also: #8889 (comment)).

Android has mostly moved on to 64-bit: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/253596

In a 2020 blog post ARM stated that "nearly 90 percent of today’s Android devices deploy a 64-bit capable version of the OS."

This target isn't built in depends CI.

@nahuhh / @tobtoht maybe those binaries didn't work, but wallet_api target is what is important for mobile wallets, even if that stats are accurate that's still 1 in 10 people who wouldn't be able to run monero wallet on their phone, at least not one based on the official code.

I'm strongly against removing support for something that is still supported by upstream (android still builds fine for 32bit arm, together with it still being supported target in the NDK), and something that is still being used.

@MrCyjaneK I reduced the scope to official releases.

Do you happen to have 32-bit ARM Android hardware? If so, could you test if the monerod release binary works?
