Mapbox legacy v9 16 KB page-size status: no aligned release found

Artifact com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk · measured 2026-10-01 · all libraries

no aligned release found

No measured release of Mapbox legacy v9 is 16 KB-aligned. The newest measured version, 9.2.1, is still offending.

Caveats

ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC: the last offending measurement 9.2.1 is x86_64-only; its arm64-v8a libraries are aligned
Sampled, not exhaustive: 29 of 216 published versions were measured with native code; unmeasured versions in between are unknown.

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.

The Gradle change

no 16 KB-aligned release of com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk measured (latest measured 9.2.1); ask the vendor, check for a fork, or re-link the .so yourself; replacing is the last resort // ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC: the last offending measurement 9.2.1 is x86_64-only; its arm64-v8a libraries are aligned

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

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency mapbox-android-sdk --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/mapbox/mapboxsdk/mapbox-android-sdk/9.2.1/mapbox-android-sdk-9.2.1.aar
python3 check16k.py mapbox-android-sdk-9.2.1.aar

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