What is your error message?

The app needs to support 16 KB memory pages.

To ensure that your app works correctly on the latest versions of Android, Google Play requires that all apps targeting Android 15 or later support 16 KB memory page sizes.

Starting October 31, 2025, if your app updates are not compatible with these page sizes, it will no longer be possible to release them

Please describe the issue:

I am trying to update my application on the Google Play Store.
I was able to successfully compile the release version targeting Android 15; however, when I tried to upload the app, the Google Play Console returned the message:

“The app needs to support 16 KB memory pages.

To ensure that your app works correctly on the latest versions of Android, Google Play requires that all apps targeting Android 15 or later support 16 KB memory page sizes.

Starting October 31, 2025, if your app updates are not compatible with these page sizes, it will no longer be possible to release them."

Is there any configuration that needs to be added to config.xml to enable support for 16 KB memory pages?

I’m using the AppStudio version 9.0.2.4 to compile it and below are the Android-related settings in my config.xml:

<engine name='android' spec='13.0.0' />
<preference name="AndroidXEnabled" value="true" />
<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="35" />
<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="25" />

Android engine 13 does not support SDK 35. You will need to use 14.0.1 to support 35. Please give this a try and let me know if you experience the same issue.

Got it! I’m gonna test it soon.

It worked, the app has been published on the Google Play Store. Thank you!
