Action by 31 May 2026Google blocks new Play Store releases for apps that do not support 16 KB memory page sizes.
Fix my appFrom 31 May 2026, Google Play blocks new releases for apps targeting Android 15+ that do not support 16 KB memory page sizes. AllsWeb upgrades your build chain, rebuilds the AAB against the 16 KB ABI, re-signs with your existing keystore, and pushes the release to Play Console — so the policy warning clears and you can ship updates again.
Best price when you share the latest installation source code. No source? We can still rebuild from the published AAB — quoted per case so there are no surprises.

Issue: App must support 16 KB memory page sizes
What Google says: “To ensure that your app works correctly on the latest versions of Android, Google Play requires all apps targeting Android 15+ to support 16 KB memory page sizes.”
Deadline: from 31 May 2026, apps that do not support 16 KB pages can no longer release updates.
Status: your latest production release does not support 16 KB memory page sizes.

The policy in plain English
We translate the Play Console banner into a clear scope, an honest deadline, and a fixed price.
Google Play requires all apps targeting Android 15+ to support 16 KB memory page sizes. Apps that do not are blocked from publishing new releases.
From 31 May 2026, if your app updates do not support 16 KB memory page sizes, Google will not let you ship those updates — including critical security fixes.
Play Console now surfaces a “Policy status → Issue details” banner: “Your latest production release does not support 16 KB memory page sizes.” That is the warning we fix.
Transparent pricing
We never hide the variables: time, complexity and how much recovery work the fix needs. You always see the lower tier first if it applies to your app.
You share the most recent installation source code we delivered (or any agency delivered). We rebuild against the 16 KB-aligned NDK, re-sign with your existing keystore, push the new release.
No source on hand? We pull the latest APK / AAB from Play Console, decompile, identify the 4 KB-aligned native libs, upgrade the toolchain and rebuild. Re-signed with your existing keystore.
Exact pricing is confirmed within 24 hours of your enquiry. We will never start work before you approve the scope and the fee.
What we need from you
We send you a one-page checklist + the exact Play Console role names so you stay in control. Nothing leaves your account without your sign-off.
Invite us as a user with “View app information”, “Manage testing tracks” and “Release manager” on your app — so we can verify the warning, upload the new bundle and roll out the release.
Same .jks/.keystore + key alias + passwords you used to publish the current release. Without these we cannot ship to the same listing — Play forbids re-keying.
Whatever .zip / repo holds the most recent installation. If you do not have it, share whoever installed the app last and we will help recover it.
What the fix actually looks like
We connect to Play Console, confirm the 16 KB policy banner, pull the current AAB and list every .so library that needs the 16 KB rebuild — first-party + transitive.
NDK r27+, Android Gradle Plugin, AGP 8+, CMake and dependency versions bumped to the minimum that emits 16 KB-aligned ELF binaries. No source changes outside what 16 KB needs.
Release AAB rebuilt on the new toolchain, regression-tested on Android 14, 15 and 16-page Android 15 emulators, and verified with `zipalign -c -p 16` and `readelf -lW`.
Re-signed with your existing keystore, uploaded to Play Console as a new release on your chosen track (internal → closed → production). Policy warning clears on the next review.
Clear scope
Audit + diff of your current AAB
List of every 4 KB-aligned native library + dependency that triggers the policy.
NDK / Gradle / dependency upgrade
Toolchain bumped to the minimum that satisfies the 16 KB ABI without breaking the rest of the app.
Re-build of release AAB
Production-quality bundle with `zipalign -p 16` and `-c 16` verified.
Re-sign with your keystore
Same Package ID, same data signature — your existing users keep their data and credentials.
Upload to Play Console
New release on internal / closed / production track of your choice.
Pre-release regression smoke test
Login, payment, map, push and image flows verified on Android 14 + Android 15 emulators with 16 KB pages.
Senior engineer sign-off
A human reviews + approves the release before submission — never a model-only release.
Lifetime support on the fix
If Play flags the same policy again, we re-investigate and re-ship under support — no extra invoice.
Anything on the right can still be quoted — just as a separate service so the 16 KB fix itself stays predictable.
Works for any Android app stack
The 16 KB ABI requirement applies to every NDK-backed app — not just Flutter, not just CodeCanyon. We have shipped fixes across the stacks below.
How it works
Send the Play Store link, the warning screenshot from Play Console, your tech stack, and whether you have the source code.
Invite us to Play Console (we send you exact role names). We verify the warning, confirm the scope, and lock the fixed fee within 24 hours.
NDK + Gradle + deps bumped, AAB rebuilt and regression-tested on 16 KB Android 15 emulators. You see the verification log.
Release uploaded to Play Console with your existing keystore. The policy banner clears on the next Play review.

Android 15 (API 35+) introduced support for 16 KB memory page sizes on new device hardware — a performance improvement on top of the long-standing 4 KB page size. Apps that ship native (NDK) libraries built only for 4 KB pages will not load correctly on 16 KB devices. Google Play has therefore made 16 KB support a publishing requirement: from 31 May 2026, apps targeting Android 15+ that do not support 16 KB pages can no longer publish new releases.
Very. The “Action by 31 May 2026” banner means Google has given you a fixed grace window. After that date Google blocks all new releases for your app — including hot-fixes, security patches and seasonal updates — until you ship a 16 KB-supporting build. Your existing release stays live on Play, but you cannot push updates. We recommend fixing this at least 2–3 weeks before the deadline.
Two reasons. (1) To confirm the actual blocking warning on your listing — Play Console is the only source of truth; the policy can look different per app, per track. (2) To upload the rebuilt AAB on your behalf so the new release publishes under your existing listing, with your existing keystore, with no impact on your installed users. We send you a one-page guide on how to add us with the minimum roles needed.
Because we have to do recovery work first. With source code, we just bump the NDK + Gradle, rebuild and re-test — usually 1–3 working days. Without source code, we pull the latest AAB from Play Console, decompile, identify the 4 KB-aligned native libraries, upgrade the toolchain and rebuild. That recovery + verification work adds days and risk, so the fee is quoted per case. We always quote you the lower price first if it applies.
No. As long as we re-sign with your existing keystore (same .jks/.keystore + key alias + passwords) and ship under the same Package ID, your existing users are upgraded in-place — same login, same orders, same preferences, same push token. Google Play will not let us change the keystore or the Package ID for an existing app even if we wanted to.
A lost keystore is the only blocker we cannot work around — Google Play forbids re-keying an existing listing. If your app uses Play App Signing, Google holds the upload key and you can reset it from Play Console; we will guide you through that flow. If you used your own signing without Play App Signing, the only option is a new app listing with a new Package ID — we can scope that as a separate engagement.
No. Any Android app shipping native libraries needs the 16 KB fix — Flutter, Kotlin native, Java native, React Native, Cordova / Ionic, Unity, custom in-house apps. CodeCanyon scripts (6ammart, StackFood, 6Valley, eFood, Demandium, DriveMond, HexaCom, GroFresh) are the most common case we see because they bundle multiple SDKs that need the rebuild.
1–3 working days when you have the source code and keystore, and our access to Play Console is approved. 3–7 working days when we have to recover from the published AAB. The clock pauses if we are waiting on access from your side — you will see the live timer on the project page.
No — this service is Play Store + Android specific. iOS App Store has its own policy track (Apple notarisation, privacy manifests) and we handle that separately. If you also need an iOS update, ask on the same enquiry and we will quote both.
New apps that already target Android 15+ must support 16 KB pages from the start — that is part of our normal Google Play app submission service. This page is for existing apps that were built before 16 KB became a publishing requirement.
Tell us your app, share Play Console access, and we lock a fixed quote within 24 hours. Most fixes ship in 1–3 working days when source code is available.
