TFLite 16 KB page-size fix: moved to com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert

Artifact org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite · measured 2026-10-01 · all libraries

relocated

org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite is now a POM-only stub that points at com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert:1.0.1. The aligned code lives in the new artifact; see relocated libraries.

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 (25)

0.1, 0.1.7, 1.9.0, 1.10.0, 1.11.0, 1.12.0, 1.13.1, 1.14.0, 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 2.6.0, 2.7.0, 2.7.0-rc0, 2.8.0, 2.9.0, 2.10.0, 2.11.0, 2.12.0, 2.13.0, 2.14.0, 2.15.0, 2.16.1

Native libraries seen: libtensorflowlite_jni.so.

The Gradle change

RELOCATED to com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert: use com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert:1.4.0 or newer (aligned; latest measured 2.2.0); org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite 2.17.0 is a POM-only stub. WARNING: the stub points at com.google.ai.edge.litert:litert:1.0.1, which is itself 4 KB-aligned (offending on x86_64 and/or arm64): merely bumping org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite to 2.17.0 stays NON-compliant.

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

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --dependency tensorflow-lite --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/org/tensorflow/tensorflow-lite/2.16.1/tensorflow-lite-2.16.1.aar
python3 check16k.py tensorflow-lite-2.16.1.aar

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