Android support for 16 KB page sizes

[Dheenul-wrg]

Hi team,

Google Play now requires Android apps to support a 16KB SQLite page size to comply with memory usage policies and improve performance.

We noticed that this is not yet supported in the current version of the Mapbox Flutter SDK. Could you please confirm if support for this is planned in an upcoming release? If not, we kindly request you to include it in a future update, as it's now a compliance requirement on the Play Store.

Let us know if any additional context or testing help is needed.
Thanks for your support!

The React Native Map Box Package also still has this issue. What you should do for now is request an extension via the Play Console and that will give you until Nov 1, 2025.

Hi, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We’re currently working on adding out-of-the-box support for the 16KB page size in compliance with Google Play’s requirements. In the meantime, you can override the mapbox-maps-android dependency with a version that supports a 16KB page size.

To do this, add the following to your android/app/build.gradle:

configurations.configureEach {
    resolutionStrategy {
        dependencySubstitution {
            substitute(module("com.mapbox.maps:android")).using(module("com.mapbox.maps:android-ndk27:MAPBOX_MAPS_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION"))
        }
    }
}

Replace MAPBOX_MAPS_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION according to your current mapbox_maps_flutter version:

mapbox_maps_flutter version	Mapbox Maps Android SDK version
2.10.0	11.14.0
2.9.1	11.13.2
2.8.1	11.12.4
2.7.1	11.11.1
2.6.3	11.10.3
2.5.3	11.9.2

And what do we do if we use build.grale.kts?

How is the out-of-the-box support for the 16KB page size coming along?

Any updates on this issue?

I am using mapbox_maps_flutter: ^2.10.0. I updated into android/app/build.grale.kts following this .
It works for me.

configurations.configureEach {
    resolutionStrategy {
        dependencySubstitution {
            substitute(module("com.mapbox.maps:android")).using(module("com.mapbox.maps:android-ndk27:11.14.4"))
        }
    }
}

I stayed with the 2.5.1 version of this package. And by adding:

    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
            // Maps Core
            if (details.requested.group == "com.mapbox.maps" &&
                    details.requested.name == "android") {
                details.useTarget("com.mapbox.maps:android-ndk27:11.14.4")
                details.because("Force 16KB page size compatible Mapbox Maps SDK")
            }
            // Mapbox Common
            if (details.requested.group == "com.mapbox.common" &&
                    details.requested.name == "common") {
                details.useTarget("com.mapbox.common:common-ndk27:24.14.4")
                details.because("Force 16KB page size compatible Mapbox Common")
            }
        }
    }

I also changed the ndkVersion to ndkVersion "27.2.12479018".

in the allprojects section of the android/build.gradle file made my apk and appbundle 16KB compatible
