Oboe 16 KB page-size fix: upgrade to 1.9.3

Artifact com.google.oboe:oboe · measured 2026-10-01 · all libraries

fixed

Oboe versions up to and including 1.9.0 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 1.9.3; the newest measured, 1.11.0, is aligned.

Measured evidence

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)

1.3.0, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.9.0

Native libraries seen: liboboe.so.

The Gradle change

implementation("com.google.oboe:oboe:1.9.3")

an aligned version, lowest measured above the last offending one; newer measured versions are aligned too (latest 1.11.0). Check: ./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency oboe --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath

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

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency oboe --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath

Re-verify it yourself

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

curl -LO https://dl.google.com/android/maven2/com/google/oboe/oboe/1.9.3/oboe-1.9.3.aar
python3 check16k.py oboe-1.9.3.aar

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