Prepare your app for the 16 KB page migration
summary
Android uses 16 KB memory pages on Android 15 and one APK runs on 4 KB and 16 KB devices; migration requires updating build tools to AGP 8.5.1 and aligning native code to call the new runtime page-size function. Measured wins include -4.6% power and up to 30% faster app launch. Android Studio, Android Vitals and online guidance help find incompatible native libraries, Google Play later enforces a compatibility requirement, and testing on both page sizes is essential.
