Is there an x86 build of every app?

    no but the dev controls it. if the dev is using the ndk and the dev is not doing the extra step of disabling/configuring it there should be in "fat" apk with each binary for each platform according to the docs. then the installer can figure out which version to use.

    the x86(/_64) version is used for Chromebooks i believe. some devs will split the apk if they configured it to reduce size so you would need to specifically go get an x86 apk version.

    the cases where a dev would disable it is if they only want to support specific instructions that might be platform specific or say a library they use doesn't support target ABIs
