Hey @Kudo — I saw you're working on Android 16 KB page size support. I was wondering: would adding the compile flag to our app's build.gradle via an Expo plugin be sufficient, or do all native Android dependencies also need to include the -DANDROID_SUPPORT_FLEXIBLE_PAGE_SIZES=ON flag?

For example, an Expo build.gradle plugin that does something like this:

function addFlexiblePageSizesArgument(gradleContents) {
  const argumentFlag = "-DANDROID_SUPPORT_FLEXIBLE_PAGE_SIZES=ON"
  // Regex to find existing arguments block
  const argumentsRegex =
    /(externalNativeBuild\s*\{[\s\S]*?arguments\s*\{)([\s\S]*?)(\})/m

  if (argumentsRegex.test(gradleContents)) {
    // If the argument is already present, do nothing
    if (gradleContents.includes(argumentFlag)) {
      return gradleContents
    }

    // Otherwise, append the argument inside the arguments block
    return gradleContents.replace(
      argumentsRegex,
      (match, start, middle, end) => {
        return `${start}${middle}\n            ${argumentFlag}${end}`
      },
    )
  }

  // If no externalNativeBuild/arguments block, insert after defaultConfig {
  const defaultConfigRegex = /(defaultConfig\s*\{[\s\S]*?\})/m

  if (defaultConfigRegex.test(gradleContents)) {
    const externalNativeBuildBlock = `externalNativeBuild {\n        ndkBuild {\n            arguments \n                "${argumentFlag}"\n        }\n    }`

    return gradleContents.replace(defaultConfigRegex, (match) => {
      return `${match}\n    ${externalNativeBuildBlock}`
    })
  }

  // If neither found, return as is
  return gradleContents
}

...

    // Inject the flexible page sizes argument
    config.modResults.contents = addFlexiblePageSizesArgument(
      config.modResults.contents,
    )

hey @watadarkstar, the problems were the libs from native modules like libexpo-modules-core.so or libexpo-gl.so. the app's build.gradle using config-plugin is not targeting for these libs. if you were not update to sdk 53, i would recommend using patch-package. also worth to note

• react-native core libs at least requires 0.77 to support 16kb page size: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2025/01/21/version-0.77
• you may need a different approach if you were using older ndk version: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes#compile-16-kb-alignment. sdk 52 (react-native 0.76) for instance, still has ndk r26
