URGENT: Android 16KB Page Size Compatibility Issue
Posted Date: 2026-05-27 6:53     Edited Date: 2026-08-15 15:08     Writer: appdev

SDK Version :  ARSDK_Android_6.2.1
Development Environment : Flutter with Native Android
License Type : Pro License

Detail

We are preparing our Android app for Google Play’s Android 15 / API 35 requirements, including support for 16 KB memory page sizes.

Using Android ELF alignment checks with llvm-readelf, we found that the issue in our app is caused by the MAXST native library:

/lib/arm64-v8a/libMaxstAR.so has <16 KB ELF alignment: 0x1000 0x1000

This means the ARM64 libMaxstAR.so binary is built with 4 KB ELF LOAD segment alignment, not 16 KB alignment. For Android 15+ / Google Play compatibility, the native library needs to be rebuilt with 16 KB-compatible alignment, for example 0x4000 or higher.

Could you please provide an updated MAXST AR SDK where libMaxstAR.so is rebuilt for Android 16 KB page size compatibility?

This is currently blocking our Google Play release.

I don't think they are offering support anymore. I've also tried to contact multiple times and they never reply.

Vuforia isn't much better they also seem to scale down and I have had problems even to get a budget for their space tracking license. Also the development with Unity has been proven highly unstable.

Niantic looks promising but they also seems to have some problems because they splitted from lightshape and they are facing some technical problems. But they don't offer options for one-time license and that reduces drastically the market.

Overall the AR space tracking providers are unreliable and expensive at best or totally gone like MaxST. It's too bad because I was planning to buy hundreds of licenses for my AR museum edition tool. I suppose nobody believes in space tracking anymore. If I wasn't a single developer I would try to create a solution by myself.
