However, those apps were being successfully installed on other Android 13 devices, so this proved that the culprit was the latest Pixel devices themselves. Upon further investigation, we found out that the Pixel 7 series ships with a 64-bit only build of Android 13! This means that you wouldn’t be able to install the 32-bit apps on your Pixel 7/Pro.
