Android 16 KB page sizes support

[apachx 1]

To ensure apps run correctly on recent Android releases, Google Play requires that all apps targeting Android 15+ support 16 KB memory pages.

I’m using Delphi CE 12.1 with AndroidSDK-2525-23.0.51961.7529 and NDK 23.2.8568313. My app contains only one native .so library and no third-party native libraries. The .aab I build contains under base/lib only a single arm64-v8a folder, and inside it just libMyApp.so.

In the Delphi Compiler linking settings I added the flag -z max-page-size=16384 to Options passed to the LD linker. After building, I analyze the .so with llvm-readelf.exe and for every LOAD header I see Align 0x4000 - which indicates 16 KB alignment.

 

 

When inspecting the .aab in Android Studio, the Alignment column shows no warnings either, which also suggests the library supports 16 KB pages.

 

 

However, I uploaded the .aab to the Play Console three days ago and I still see the message: "Page size — does not support 16 KB memory pages".

My question: How should I implement 16 KB page size support in Delphi 12.1 so that Google Play Console accepts the app and the check passes?
