Qt for Android and 16 KB page size: official roadmap and temporary solutions?
-
Hi everyone,
Starting from September 2025, Google requires Android applications to use libraries compatible with 16 KB page size.
However, I noticed that the current Qt 6.9 for Android libraries distributed through the Maintenance Tool are still prebuilt with 4 KB page size, which makes it difficult to publish apps on the Play Store without manual workarounds.I would like to ask:
Is there an official release planned (e.g. in 6.9.x or 6.10) that will provide Android libraries compiled with 16 KB page size support? If so, is there any timeline available?
In the meantime, are there any recommended workarounds, such as build flags, patches, or custom builds, that developers can adopt to meet Google’s new requirements?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify the situation or share their experience.

AFAIK Qt 6.9.3 and 6.8.4 will support 16 kb pages

Thank you very much, then we’ll wait for that date to check. Bye!
