Recompile your app with 16 KB native library alignment

chodongwon82 · May 11, 2025, 7:40pm

After the recent build, we started seeing the following message on the Google Play Console dashboard. Would anyone happen to know more about this?

Recompile your app with 16 KB native library alignment
Your app uses native libraries that are not aligned to support devices with 16 KB memory page sizes. These devices may not be able to install or start your app, or your app may start and then crash.

There are new app bundles in this release that do not support 16 KB.

Android 15 supports devices with 16 KB memory page sizes, which can improve your app’s performance. We recommend recompiling your app when you migrate to Android 15 and testing your app in a 16 KB environment to avoid issues for users.

Bulid : 2025.3718

That is new requirement from google app store.

Kan98 · May 12, 2025, 12:58am

Also I think it’s time we should upgrade to android API 35.

chodongwon82 · May 12, 2025, 1:14am

I’ve learned something new. Thank you for the information. This is a challenging topic for a beginner programmer like me who isn’t familiar with using native code.

Kan98 · May 12, 2025, 5:19am

We need a look from Vlad or Scott.
@Scott_Harrison Sorry for the ping, but I think you need to see it.

Scott_Harrison · May 13, 2025, 4:41am

Will look into this

aclementerodrguez · May 14, 2025, 3:40pm

Same behaviour with my apps.

cmaiia · May 24, 2025, 11:52pm

I also received this message when publishing a game!
It is necessary to recompile the native libraries (if you’re using the NDK) with the --pagealign 16384 flag, or adjust the build system (such as CMake) to ensure this alignment required by Google. I haven’t done this yet.

chodongwon82 · May 25, 2025, 9:14am

I occasionally enjoyed playing my game using keyboard and mouse via Google Play Games on PC. However, since this message started appearing, I’ve been unable to install my game on my PC.

Kan98 · May 29, 2025, 1:21pm

Hi Scott,
Sorry for bothering.
I’m preparing steps to release a new game mid next month, any progress on this? And also Android API 35.

Scott_Harrison · May 29, 2025, 7:27pm

Still working on this, hopefully will be out in June, will look into Android 35 after

Thanks
Scott

Kan98 · May 29, 2025, 9:52pm

Thank you so much!

Scott_Harrison · June 3, 2025, 4:13am

See this

github.com/coronalabs/corona

Android: API 35 support and 16KB support

coronalabs:master ← scottrules44:android-35

opened 04:10AM - 03 Jun 25 UTC

+15 -11

I followed instructions and tested with this script https://cs.android.com/andr…oid/platform/superproject/main/+/main:system/extras/tools/check_elf_alignment.sh Updated all core libs, we will need to looking any plugins to make sure they support 16kb page size https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes#elf-alignment I also bumped up SDK android 15 Tested with release here https://github.com/scottrules44/Solar2D-98/releases/tag/3723

Note: I tested with Google test script, I have “not” updated an app to google play to see if that warning is still there. We likely still need to recompile our plugins to support 16KB page support

Kan98 · June 3, 2025, 4:41am

Nice job!
Thank you so much!

chodongwon82 · June 22, 2025, 6:01pm

The warning still appears, and the message remains the same as before.
I’ve included the details from the App Bundle below for your reference.
(I used Build 2025.3721)
If you have a moment, would you mind taking another look? I would greatly appreciate your help.

API levels : 21+
Target SDK : 35
Memory page size : Does not support 16 KB
Libraries that do not support 16 KB:

@chodongwon82 the build does not automatically update 3rd party libraries that use .so (which are cpp/c based),

Which plugin are you using? I see sentry, I was not aware they had a solar plugin

chodongwon82 · June 22, 2025, 7:21pm

Here is the list of all the plugins I’m currently using.

['plugin.vibrator'] = spiralcodestudio_plugin('vibrator'),

["CoronaProvider.native.popup.social"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" },
["CoronaProvider.native.popup.activity"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true }, },

["plugin.gpgs.v3"] = { publisherId = "com.solar2d" },
["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.apple"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true } },
["plugin.iCloud"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", },

["plugin.google.iap.billing.v2"] = { publisherId = "com.solar2d" },

[ 'plugin.appodeal.base' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.Amazon' ] = {publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.Bidmachine' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.GoogleAdMob' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.AppLovin' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.FacebookAudience' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.MyTarget' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ "plugin.appodeal.Pangle" ] = {publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.Unity' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.Vungle' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ 'plugin.appodeal.Yandex' ] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },
[ "plugin.appodeal.InMobi" ] = {publisherId = 'com.coronalabs' },

["plugin.att"] = { publisherId = "com.solar2d", supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true } },

I’m still a beginner, so I’m not familiar with Sentry.
I couldn’t find any mention of “Sentry” in my code, so I’m not sure why it’s showing up. I’m a bit confused as well.
But as far as I can tell, I believe this is the only third-party plugin I’m using: Solar2D Plugins

chodongwon82 · June 22, 2025, 7:45pm

I’m relieved to know the reason. Thank you so much for your help, Scott!

Scott_Harrison · June 22, 2025, 7:58pm

Appodeal may be using include Sentry automatically, will do some research into this

chodongwon82 · June 23, 2025, 6:57am

I ran some tests in case it might help. After commenting out all the Appodeal plugins, it seems the warning no longer appears. I’ve attached a screenshot of the App Bundle details for reference.
