issue.<\/p>\n<p>Why it matters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your app bundles native libraries (.so files inside lib\/&lt;abi&gt;\/).<\/li>\n<li>If those libraries were compiled with assumptions tied to 4 KB pages, they won\u2019t load on 16 KB systems.<\/li>\n<li>The Android dynamic loader will fail to map them \u2014 and your app crashes before showing a UI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How to Check if
