Pixel 8 (16KB page size mode) crash on startup: libBulletSoftBody.so alignment (8192) < page size (16384) → 16KB test fails

Summary

On Pixel 8 with 16KB page size mode enabled, the app crashes during startup while loading a native library. The linker reports the ELF program alignment is 8192 (8KB), which is smaller than the system page size 16384 (16KB). This causes dlopen to fail and the 16KB compatibility test to fail.

Environment

• Device: Pixel 8
• Mode: 16KB page size enabled
• App package: com.arproject
• Dependency: @reactvision/react-viro: ^2.50.1 react-native": "0.83.1"
• ABI: arm64-v8a
• Observed time: 2026-01-05 13:53 (logcat local time)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable 16KB page size mode on Pixel 8.
2. Install and launch the app (com.arproject).
3. App crashes during startup when loading native modules.

Expected Behavior

The app should launch normally on 16KB page size devices/environments and the 16KB compatibility test should pass.

Actual Behavior

The app crashes on launch with UnsatisfiedLinkError due to dlopen failure.
