# How do I fix the Rive Flutter 16 KB page size error on Android?

> Google Play now requires native libraries to support 16 KB memory pages, and older Rive Flutter builds shipped libraries such as librive_text.so that were not aligned. The fix is to upgrade to rive 0.14.x, which Rive says resolves it. If you must stay on 0.13.x, set rive.ndk.version=28.1.13356709 in android/gradle.properties, as a Rive maintainer suggested.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this only a Rive problem?

No. Any Flutter plugin with native libraries can trigger it. Check every package with .so files.

### Will my app crash on 16 KB devices?

Unaligned libraries can fail to load on devices using 16 KB pages, which is why Play enforces it.

### Do I need to change my Rive files?

No. This is about the runtime's native libraries, not your .riv files.

### Where can I read Google's guidance?

The Android developer site has a page on supporting 16 KB page sizes.
