16 KB page support missing due to libimage_processing_util_jni.so

[pankajsoftyoi]

During Android build we are seeing the following warning related to 16 KB page support:

APK app-development-arm64-v8a-debug.apk is not compatible with 16 KB devices.  
Some libraries have LOAD segments not aligned at 16 KB boundaries:  

lib/arm64-v8a/libimage_processing_util_jni.so

After investigation, the root cause appears to be stripe-identity-react-native, which bundles libimage_processing_util_jni.so.
This warning indicates the library is not aligned with the Android 16 KB page requirement.

⚠️ Google has announced that apps must support 16 KB page size by November 1, 2025.
So this needs to be resolved before that deadline, otherwise builds will be rejected on Play Store.

Request:

Please confirm if there is an existing fix or patch available.

If not, can you provide guidance on when a compatible version of the library will be released?

Environment:

React Native version: "0.81.0"

stripe-identity-react-native version: "^0.3.8"

Thanks in advance! 🙏

This, together with #203 and #180 is slowly becoming a really big issue. We cannot submit Android updates for our react-native apps if this is update is not done before November 1st... especially #180 was supposed to be done early June, but there was no updates at all and now we're running out of time. Anything we can do to help? @kentwilliams-stripe ?

I ran into the same issue on an older Stripe version and got it working by patching the camera dependency with patch-package.

Here’s my setup:

• React Native 0.77.3
• @stripe/stripe-identity-react-native@0.2.13

Patch I applied:

diff --git a/node_modules/@stripe/stripe-identity-react-native/android/build.gradle b/node_modules/@stripe/stripe-identity-react-native/android/build.gradle
index 5e8f9a5..8d1b2f1 100644
--- a/node_modules/@stripe/stripe-identity-react-native/android/build.gradle
+++ b/node_modules/@stripe/stripe-identity-react-native/android/build.gradle
@@ -133,5 +133,6 @@ dependencies {
   implementation("com.stripe:identity:$stripe_version") {
     exclude group: 'androidx.emoji2', module: 'emoji2'
   }
   implementation('androidx.emoji2:emoji2:1.3.0').force // Avoid using 1.4.0 since that requires targetSdkVersion 34
+  implementation('androidx.camera:camera-core:1.4.0').force // Force newer version with 16KB alignment support
 }

This workaround solved the alignment issue for me without having to upgrade Stripe.
That said, it’s just a quick fix using patch-package — still waiting on an official release from Stripe to handle this properly.

@mluiten What is your intention going forward?

Can you try out the latest version of this SDK?

I am closing this out for now, but do feel free to reopen this if it reappears or is a problem we missed
