Critical message Your app is affected by Google Play's 16 KB page size requirements
To ensure that 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 1 May 2026, if your app updates do not support 16 KB memory page sizes, you won't be able to release these updates.

Sometimes I wonder why they call themself google play support since that last word does not describe my experience with them, always trying to find new requirements and ways to complicate the process of publishing anything at their store.

Yes, it's annoying and it's the reason why I'm no longer providing the Hollywood Player via Google Play. It's just too unnerving to jump through all their hoops that change every two months. But the next version of APK Compiler will of course be fixed to support the new requirements.
