Flutter Android 16KB Page Size Support Issue - Google Play Console Hard Rejection

Question

I'm hitting a critical roadblock when trying to publish my application via the Google Play Console: My App Bundle is completely rejected with the persistent message:

Your app does not support 16KB memory page sizes.

This is not a warning, but a hard block preventing any submission.

I'm aware this issue is crucial for performance on specific 64-bit devices, and I have spent considerable time troubleshooting. I have followed multiple official guides and tutorials, and meticulously updated all my Android build tools to the latest versions I could find, but the rejection simply won't disappear.I am running a standard Flutter project.

I am reaching out because, based on my configuration below, the 16KB alignment should be handled automatically by the recent Android Gradle Plugin (AGP >= 8.5.1).

My Current Configuration (Latest Versions Applied)

android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-9.2.0-all.zip

android/settings.gradle

plugins {
    id "dev.flutter.flutter-plugin-loader" version "1.0.0"
    id "com.android.application" version "8.12.0" apply false // <-- AGP
    id "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android" version "2.1.0" apply false
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.14' apply false
}

android/app/build.gradle

android {
    compileSdk = 36
    ndkVersion = "29.0.14206865"

    compileOptions {
       sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
       targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '11'
        // jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

This error comes from a plugin’s native .so library, not your Gradle config. One of your dependencies is still built with 4 KB pages. Extract your AAB and check the .so files, the plugin with the outdated native library needs updating/replacing. — Arshad

I have recently written an article that discusses this and may be of help. — tomerpacific

i think the issue with compiler setting in flutter should add line of code ANDROID_SUPPORT_FLEXIBLE_PAGE_SIZES=ON here YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/engine/src/build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn because you are used the ndk version r28+ — AzPSU

Also make sure you got Flutter 3.38.1+ since we got Android 16KB Page Size support. — Vonarian

this issue is mostly thrown from native library(i.e the plugin that you are using is based on 4kb pages and hasn't been migrated to the 16kb compatiable pages).

to know which plugin is throwing that issue
- build apk, then test the apk from android studio's anaylize apk
- upgrade that plugin or replace it with alternative plugins

this should solve this issue
