It seems the moto g5 plus only supports 32-bit Android - so it does not have the "necessary specifications" and so failing to install is expected.

Unfortunately, as "64-bit" capable CPU doesn't mean it'll have a 64-bit version of android - as it uses a fair bit more flash storage (as it effectively has an extra copy of all the android libraries - one for 32, one for 64), tends to use slightly more RAM, and takes more engineering effort to support and test the 2 different ABIs. So many non-top-tier phones still ship with 32-bit only.

As this is the *most* important reason, this makes me very sad.
