Android 15 - 16 KB Page Size Support

[Gautham495]

By November 1st, 2025, Google has announced that all the native libraries should have 16kb support and currently Mapbox library does not have it and we get the following warning in the play console for these native files.

base/lib/arm64-v8a/libmapbox-common.so
base/lib/arm64-v8a/libmapbox-maps.so
base/lib/x86_64/libmapbox-common.so
base/lib/x86_64/libmapbox-maps.so

When will we get support for this for the Android 15+ versions?

I thought that if the android SDK dependency was compiled with NDK 27, then it would have the 16 kb support. I see NDK 27 is already specified in the example gradle file, but I’m not sure about the actual build.gradle https://github.com/rnmapbox/maps/blob/bf7a2f09e26566a2b402b7662df43f92ae76e365/android/build.gradle

It's your issue! I'm not working on it - and I don't know what the problem is. Since this isn't a showstopping issue yet, I am not worrying about it. I am waiting for more guidance from others for how to best address the issue.

Thanks for the update @RyanTG

same issue cannot compile on react native with android sdk 35

Android Mapbox libs has a -ndk27 sufixes like com.mapbox.maps:android-ndk27:11.7.0, we'll need to adjust config to support those variants as well

Thanks for the update @RyanTG

How did You solve it @Gautham495 I still have this issue. I tried updating the NDK to 11.7.0.

[Gautham495]

I am still having this issue.

Need a fix as other libraries are working well.

Why are you guys thumbs downing this repo’s main contributor commenting on the issue? Why are you posting multiple times a day asking for updates?

May I remind you that this is a WARNING from google, and there is nothing preventing you from building and releasing until Nov 1 (3 months from now).

Are you willing to demonstrate a little patience?

[Mohammad-R-Rashid]

For now, you guys can just request an extension via the Google play console, so instead of having a deadline of 30 days from now, you get until Nov 1 - as Ryan mentioned.
