MMKV 16 KB page-size fix: upgrade to 1.3.14

Artifact com.tencent:mmkv · measured 2026-10-01 · all libraries

fixed

MMKV versions up to and including 1.3.12 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 1.3.14; the newest measured, 2.4.2, is aligned.

Caveats

Sampled, not exhaustive: 30 of 37 published versions were measured with native code; unmeasured versions in between are unknown.

	Version	Library file	p_align	File date	Source
Last offending	`1.3.12`	`jni/arm64-v8a/libmmkv.so`	4 KB (2^12)	Thu, 02 Jan 2025 09:00:16 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.

The Gradle change

implementation("com.tencent:mmkv:1.3.14")

an aligned version, lowest measured above the last offending one; newer measured versions are aligned too (latest 2.4.2). Check: ./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency mmkv --configuration releaseRuntimeClasspath

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

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency mmkv --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/tencent/mmkv/1.3.14/mmkv-1.3.14.aar
python3 check16k.py mmkv-1.3.14.aar

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