XA0141: Android 16 will require 16 KB page sizes, shared library 'libe_sqlite3.so' does not have a 16 KB page size.

[Auto72]

I have a .NET MAUI project with .NET 9.0 and when I deploy the App I get the following warnings:

XA0141: Android 16 will require 16 KB page sizes, shared library 'libe_sqlite3.so' does not have a 16 KB page size. Please inform the authors of the NuGet package 'SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3.android' version '2.1.2' which contains 'D:\packages\NuGet\cache\sqlitepclraw.lib.e_sqlite3.android\2.1.2\lib\net6.0-android31.0\SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3.android.aar'. See https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes for more details.

Everything is working fine now, but it needs to be fixed before Android 16 will be available..

I notice the same error today in my app and realise that 2.1.11 version of SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3.android is available as well. Maybe it is just a minor upgrade to recompile and release new one with new libraries please.

Just to note Android 16 is now available and rolling out to devices.

Hey this thing get more important since android 16 is coming. Any updates on 16 kb support?

[sjlombardo]

For those with urgent timelines on this 16 KB compatibility issue, I wanted to mention that official SQLCipher Commercial Edition packages already include 16KB page size support and are compatible with sqlite-net. Packages are available for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android.

If you need an immediate solution for production apps, it's an option worth considering.

Full disclosure: I'm from the SQLCipher team at Zetetic.

I have a new app using this that is in test. I'd like to know if this is going to be modified to 16Kb or not. Without confidence it will be I will have to rewrite the SQLite handling and re-test. Clarity is important now.

SQLitePCLRaw 3.0 has there 16kb limitation fixed. @praeclarum has agreed to let me work on maintenance of sqlite-net, and I will be doing an update as soon as possible to integrate things.

Thanks for your response, Eric. I was starting to get concerned. Best wishes, Ian.

I'm using sqlite-net-pcl package (1.9.172) but with this I have the issue of the 16 KB page sizes. Is there any update coming for this nuget package which is working correctly with 16 KB page sizes?

[ericsink]

@stzemp See #1282

[stzemp]

@ericsink Just for my understanding: is a update of the sqlite-net-pcl package planned with SQLitePCLRaw 3.0 or do I have to use the SQLitePCLRaw 3.0 instead directly? If I need to use SQLitePCLRaw 3.0 are there any example how I setup/use it?

[ericsink]

Good question. I'm working on an update to sqlite-net-pcl to make it use SQLitePCLRaw 3.0. Hopefully soon.

[ericsink]

Okay, here's something to try. I haven't tested this yet, but please tell me if it works.

1. Remove the reference to sqlite-net-pcl and add the package sqlite-net-e. It's a pre-release.
2. Add the package SourceGear.sqlite3 version 3.50.4.2.

The sqlite-net-e package is another form of sqlite-net, but instead of depending on SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green, it depends on SQLitePCLRaw.config.e_sqlite3 version 3.0, which is configured to look for a library with e_sqlite3 as the base name, and SourceGear.sqlite3 provides that.

I still need to write up a better explanation, but I'm curious about feedback on this.

Note that this solution does not emulate the so-called "green" behavior, wherein the e_sqlite3 library is used everywhere but iOS. That implementation is done in a branch here, but I can't push it up to nuget.org without some help from @praeclarum .

Thank you, this works for me!

I no longer get the warning about 16kb page size and I didn't need to make any code changes.

Hola una consulta, estoy usando el paquete sqlite-net-pcl (1.9.172), y hay una actualización 1.10.196-beta lanzada el martes, 04 de marzo de 2025 (04/03/2025) esta actualización funciona correctamente con tamaños de página de 16 KB?
