Android App Updates

Keep your Android app publishable on Google Play.

Google Play requires app updates to target Android 16 (API 36), with extensions ending November 1, 2026, and from February 1, 2027 it refuses updates that don't support 16 KB memory pages. We bring your app up to date, rebuild native code where it needs it, and prove the result on a 16 KB-page test device.

← All services

Most of the work is mechanical: raise compileSdk and targetSdk, upgrade the Android Gradle Plugin, and fix what Android 15 and 16 changed in your app. The 16 KB part lives in native libraries: anything built with the NDK, CMake or Rust, including the ones inside React Native and Flutter projects, has to be rebuilt with 16 KB alignment. We check every library with our own compliance checker and run the app on a 16 KB-page test device before you see it.

✓Every native library checked, including the RELRO segment whose misalignment can crash an app on 16 KB devices
✓The app run on a 16 KB-page test device, with screenshots and the checker's output
✓Third-party SDKs that are not 16 KB-ready yet identified, with the version that fixes each

Who we work with

Developers and small studios whose Play Console shows a target API or 16 KB warning, or whose update was rejected, whether the app is Kotlin, Java, React Native or Flutter.

Next year's target API update done before Google's deadline, and the 16 KB and target checks run on up to four of your releases a year.

Not included: new features, Play policy appeals, or fixing third-party SDKs whose vendors haven't shipped 16 KB-ready versions.

Questions

Do you need my signing keys?

No. You keep your signing keys and your Play Console access. You sign and upload the release yourself.

What if one of my SDKs isn't ready for 16 KB pages?

We identify it and the version that fixes it. Rewriting another company's SDK is not part of the job.

How do I know it works?

We run the app on a 16 KB-page test device and send you the screenshots with the checker's output, along with the patch or pull request and a short report.
