Fresco imagepipeline-native 16 KB page-size fix: upgrade to 3.4.0

Artifact com.facebook.fresco:imagepipeline-native · measured 2026-10-01 · all libraries

fixed

Fresco imagepipeline-native versions up to and including 3.3.0 that we measured ship 4 KB-aligned native libraries (offending for Google Play's 16 KB page-size requirement). The first measured aligned stable version is 3.4.0; the newest measured, 3.9.0, is aligned.

Caveats

Sampled, not exhaustive: 16 of 16 published versions were measured with native code; unmeasured versions in between are unknown.

Measured evidence

	Version	Library file	p_align	File date	Source
Last offending	`3.3.0`	`jni/arm64-v8a/libimagepipeline.so`	4 KB (2^12)	Mon, 07 Oct 2024 17:39:41 GMT	artifact
First aligned	`3.4.0`	`jni/arm64-v8a/libimagepipeline.so`	16 KB (2^14)	Mon, 14 Oct 2024 18:12:29 GMT	artifact

p_align is the smallest PT_LOAD segment alignment of the ELF. 16 KB-compatible needs at least 16384 (2^14). Method: min PT_LOAD p_align of arm64-v8a/x86_64 .so inside the published AAR/JAR; aligned = >=16384 for every lib. Dates are repository file times, not official release dates.

Offending versions measured (10)

2.3.0, 2.5.0, 2.6.0, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2.0, 3.3.0

Native libraries seen: libimagepipeline.so.

The Gradle change

implementation("com.facebook.fresco:imagepipeline-native:3.4.0")

an aligned version, lowest measured above the last offending one; newer measured versions are aligned too (latest 3.9.0). Check: ./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency imagepipeline-native --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath

Confirm what Gradle actually resolves, since another dependency may pull an older version:

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency imagepipeline-native --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath

Re-verify it yourself

Download the artifact and run the free checker (check16k.py, Python 3, no dependencies):

curl -LO https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/facebook/fresco/imagepipeline-native/3.4.0/imagepipeline-native-3.4.0.aar
python3 check16k.py imagepipeline-native-3.4.0.aar

Exit 0 = aligned, 1 = an unaligned library found. Better still, run it on your final .aab/.apk.
