Native .so libraries are not aligned to 16 KB as required by Google Play

[BirdUshenin]

Starting November 2025, Google Play will require all .so native libraries shipped in APKs or app bundles to have their ELF segments aligned on 16 KB boundaries.
More details: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes?hl=ru#windows-powershell_2

libimagepipeline.so
libnative-filters.so
libnative-imagetranscoder.so

After testing, Google indicated in the documentation found that the files generated by the Fresco library are less than 16kb in size.

    LOAD off    0x0000000000000000 vaddr 0x0000000000000000 paddr 0x0000000000000000 align 2**12
    LOAD off    0x0000000000001d80 vaddr 0x0000000000002d80 paddr 0x0000000000002d80 align 2**12

Tell me what to do? I updated the library to the latest version - fresco-version = "3.6.0"

@BirdUshenin did you find any solution to this?

@BirdUshenin did you find any solution to this?

The .so libraries listed above are built and distributed by the Fresco project, and they are not currently aligned to the required 16 KB boundaries. This problem should be solved by Fresco developers. The only thing I would like to know is whether they will solve this problem. If not, then the only solution is not to use Fresco

I agree with you, I'm surprised no one has responded to this issue..

I'm also waiting for this issue to be fixed upstream.

I checked with Google Play developers about whether ELF alignment needed to be checked. I also explained that I had tested it using a special emulator that checks for 16kb support and found no errors.
