Hi,

+1 for this, please.

Android Studio gives alignment warnings (4KB LOAD segments) for these shared objects:

• libskypert.so
• librt-java-bindings.so
• libTrouterClientAndroid.so
• libc++_shared.so
• libACSCallingShared.so
• libRtmMediaManagerDyn.so

(coming from azure-communication-calling-2.5.0.aar and trouter-client-android-0.2.0.aar)

These native libraries should be re-compiled/updated to be compliant with the new 16KB alignment requirements.

Thanks for raising this. We’re actively preparing releases that rebuild all affected native libraries with 16 KB page size support (and fix the 4 KB LOAD segment warnings you noted). We’re targeting availability this month (September 2025) so you can meet Google Play’s November 2025 requirement.

No API changes are expected. We’ll update this issue as soon as the artifacts are live (including the azure-communication-calling and trouter-client Android AARs and their bundled .so files).

Thanks for the info!

I confirm this is important.
Without Android 16KB page size support, apps using this library won’t be publishable on Google Play after November 2025.

Please prioritize adding this support.

Thanks Adam, I can confirm that the (Beta) changes worked: Android Studio no longer complains about the 16KB alignment issues.

Hello Adam,
We’re still blocked by the UI chat artifact. any update on the Chat UI library to support 16 KB page sizes?

Hi @ahammer ,

When can we expect to have the changes for the Chat UI library as well?

[abeauchesnecaresimple]

@ShaunaSong , are you planning on implementing 16 KB page size support on the Chat composite?

@ahammer any updates on chat lib ?

FYI, I was able to resolve the 16 kb warning in the Chat UI library:

I changed the chat sdk version to 2.2.0:
azure_chat_sdk_version = '2.2.0'
in the build.gradle for azure-communication-ui.
Also updated
sdkVersion = "2.2.0",
in ChatContainer.
Then exported the library and the 16kb warning is gone.
