Important Android 15 Breaking Change SQLite plugin

1

Hello

There is a breaking change for Android 15, any plugin (all SQLite, google maps…) who have compiled .so library dont works anymore on Android 15 with devices with Page Size 16Kb. Testsable with emulator or Pixel8 and beta.

Ex:

Tested:

  1. Execution on Normal device: OK
  2. Execution on Android 15 Beta QR1 + Normal mode (Emulator + Pixel 8): OK
  3. Execution on Android 15 Beta QR1 + Page size 16Kb mode (Emulator + Pixel 8): Crash

I tested to recompile the libs with the following commands, then app works only when debugging with Android Studio, but crash when send to Google Play store (error during download, .so lib not aligned).

We’ve been keeping an eye on this one - we expect a number of plugins will need to be forked or updated. Can you provide more details on what commands you’re using and the crash your experiencing?

I forked the plugin:

And GitHub - hooliapps/Android-sqlite-native-driver: Provides a native build of sqlite with a low-level interface for Android libraries. Unlicense (public domain). to compile the libs.
