App must support 16 KB memory page sizes #77
Description
What happened?
Description
Google Play Console reports that apps using react-native-ml-kit do not support 16 KB memory page sizes, which may lead to Play Store rejection in future releases.
The app builds and runs successfully, but Play Console flags this library as non-compliant with Android’s 16 KB memory page size requirement for newer devices and upcoming Android versions.
Since react-native-ml-kit includes native code, the library needs to ensure that:
- All native binaries are compatible with 16 KB memory page sizes
- Android NDK / CMake / Gradle configurations comply with Google’s requirements
- Any bundled ML Kit native libraries are updated or rebuilt if necessary
Expected Behavior
Apps using react-native-ml-kit should pass Google Play Console validation and be accepted for submission, including support for 16 KB memory page sizes.
Actual Behavior
Google Play Console displays a warning indicating the app does not support 16 KB memory page sizes, which may result in future rejection.
Environment
- React Native
- Expo
- Android
- react-native-ml-kit
- Google Play Console
Additional Context
Google is enforcing 16 KB memory page size support for apps containing native code to ensure compatibility with newer Android hardware.
