Google play : 16 KB memory page sizes

[Tiphaine-dureau]

Hello !

I just received an email from Google Play :
"To ensure that your app works correctly on the latest versions of Android, Google Play requires that all apps targeting Android 15 or later be compatible with 16 KB memory page sizes. Starting May 1, 2026, if your app updates are not compatible with 16 KB memory page sizes, you will not be able to publish them."

I saw in my bundles that the application is not compatible. Here are the files concerned :

base/lib/arm64-v8a/libcrashlytics-common.so
base/lib/arm64-v8a/libcrashlytics-handler.so
base/lib/arm64-v8a/libcrashlytics-trampoline.so
base/lib/arm64-v8a/libcrashlytics.so
base/lib/x86_64/libcrashlytics-common.so
base/lib/x86_64/libcrashlytics-handler.so
base/lib/x86_64/libcrashlytics-trampoline.so
base/lib/x86_64/libcrashlytics.so

I understand that these are files related to this plugin. Do you know if you will be able to fix this error following the new rules?

Thanks

This issue arises from the Crashlytics SDK - make sure you use a version equal or above v19.0.2 via plugin variables e.g.:

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-firebasex --nosave && cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex --variable ANDROID_FIREBASE_CRASHLYTICS_VERSION=19.4.4 --variable ANDROID_FIREBASE_CRASHLYTICS_NDK_VERSION=19.4.4

Thanks for mentioning.

And "indeed", make sure to update the SDK / NDK version like mentioned above.

You can check the most recent versions which is 20.x.x at the moment. But I think staying at 19.0.2 or higher is the most stable / save at this moment?

Also, you don't need the 6GB of Android Studio in order to check the .so files 16kb support (which Google advices). You can just download a stand-alone tool that does this.

I don't work with Android Studio and didn't want to install it, just to see which files were out of sync. So I downloaded the exact same tools (integrated in Android Studio) for the PC.

Only 10mb in size, and pure CLI. If someone's interested in how/ where to get these, let me know.
