Google Play’s 16 KB page size compatibility issue

[ductranit]

Description

My app got email warning from Google Play

Your app are affected by Google Play's 16 KB page size requirements
To ensure your app works correctly on the latest versions of Android, Google Play requires all apps targeting Android 15+ to support 16 KB memory page sizes.

From May 1, 2026, if your app updates do not support 16 KB memory page sizes, you won't be able to release these updates

Then I follow this document to analyze my APK and I see the cause comes from rive native lib librive_text.so with message 4 KB LOAD section alginment, but 16 KB is required
for arm64-v8a and x86_64 binary.
This issue prevent me to update new app version in the future.

Expected behavior

Should build with 16KB page size from ndk

If you're on 0.13.x, adding 16 KB page support will take a few minutes. You can override the NDK version by setting rive.ndk.version=28.1.13356709 in your gradle.properties file. You can also choose NDK 27, but then you also need to do this.

I set NDK to 28.x, but the rive_common library is setting the minSDK for Android to 19.
