  Thanks for pointing that out, although actually @pie did it first. It is not compltely clear what must be done to comply, but I've updated AGP to 8.11.1 recently (google say 8.5.2 is required for 16k pages), and I'll update NDK to version 28 (I've been using r25c until then).
  Hopefully that will be enough.

  Ah OK. I just had email about it this morning myself. Will check over time as I update the apps for this and that etc. and report back. Long time to get it sorted if possible yet anyway.

  That is unfortunately out of my league, but if it may help you @hgy29 this is what play console says about this requirement: (Learn More points here) https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes#build
  
  
  
  
  based on this list I am not sure why I am embedding openxr loader, but it's off topic here
  
  Thank you

  Thanks @pie, it saves me the time of analyzing an APK myself. All the incompatible libs are Gideros ones, so the update to NDK 28 should fix it (I had a go and Gideros still compiles fine with NDK 28, a few minor source code changes aside).
  And yes libopenxr_loader is not necessary here, it is only used for meta quest. I will check APK export and remove it if Quest support is not selected.

  @hgy29 I also noticed this "warning" I put it here since I think it's not worth to flood the forum with a new topic:
  
  

  Your app uses deprecated APIs or parameters for edge-to-edge
  One or more of the APIs you use or parameters that you set for edge-to-edge and window display have been deprecated in Android 15. Your app uses the following deprecated APIs or parameters:
  
  android.view.Window.setStatusBarColor
  LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES
  These start in the following places:
  
  com.giderosmobile.android.player.GiderosApplication$6.run
  com.giderosmobile.android.APPActivity.onCreate
  To prepare for the change to Android 15, migrate away from these APIs or parameters.

  Just had another mail from Google basically stating...
  
  'We may have accidentally sent you an email with an incorrect deadline. The correct deadline is 1 Nov 2025'
  
  LOL 😂

  yes i also got this, but sadly we anyway will have to update, which is a hassle. hopefully gideros will be ready for that in time.

  From my own tests, Gideros 2025.9 will be 16k pages compatible
