11/17/2025, 12:03 PMHas anyone succeeded in running Knative on Android with the new 16KB memory page size mode? So far, all I’ve experienced is crashes or build failures when trying to fix it.
I have reported here https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-77899/Update-Kotlin-Native-Android-NDK-toolchain since that seems related to the LLVM version.

11/25/2025, 4:49 PMAs far as I understand it all native code needs compiling to support it, so that includes any klibs too. Which makes it particularly important for the underlying toolchain to provide support out of the box.

11/25/2025, 4:53 PMWait, if that were the case, then how does the fix @ephemient provided work given kotlin stdlib klib for AndroidNative is not being compiled (currently) with 16KB page sizes.

11/25/2025, 5:13 PMIf you produce a .so, yes. In my case, I'm including a library compiled with Rust. I had to update this library first to be compatible with 16KB. Then I'm repackaging it with two flavors:
• Android/JVM: with the library compiled as a shared library (.so)
• Android/Native: with the library embedded as a static library (.a)
On Android JVM, there is no extra work since the .so is already compatible with 16KB, but on Android Native, if the end user wants to compile it as a shared library, they need to include this line
