Google Play will soon require all apps targeting Android 15+ to support 16KB memory page sizes starting November 1st, 2025 — and non-compliant apps may fail publishing.
I recently verified my Flutter app using a simple shell script that checks ELF alignment and compatibility… and here’s the best part 👇
✅ My app passed!
🙌 Huge thanks to Nitin Prakash for sharing this excellent verification script.
🧩 Steps to Verify Your Flutter App:
1️⃣ Create a file named check_elf_alignment.sh in your Flutter project root.
2️⃣ Make it executable:
chmod +x check_elf_alignment.sh
3️⃣ Build your release APK:
flutter build apk --release
4️⃣ Run the script with your APK path:
./check_elf_alignment.sh app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk
The script will analyze your native libraries (.so files) to check if they meet the 16KB ELF alignment requirement for modern Android devices.

🗓️ Deadline: November 1, 2025
If updating dependencies or recompiling native libraries will take time, you can request an extension until May 31, 2026.
💡 Pro Tip for Flutter Devs:
Make sure your project is using
- Android Gradle Plugin 8.5.1+
- Build Tools 35.0.0+
- NDK r27+ (r28 recommended)
Stay ahead — test your build early and make sure your app’s ready for the new 16KB era 🚀
