[Android] Add support for 16KB page size compatibility (Android 15+)

[Manishbajpai055]

Summary

Apps using react-native-screens crash on Android 15+ devices with 16KB page size configurations. This patch fixes that by updating the CMake build configuration.

Background

Android 15 introduced support for 16KB memory page sizes. Apps must explicitly support this to run on affected devices and meet Google Play Store requirements.

Changes

node_modules/react-native-screens/android/build.gradle

externalNativeBuild {
    cmake {
        arguments "-DANDROID_STL=c++_shared",
-                 "-DRNS_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=${IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED}"
+                 "-DRNS_NEW_ARCH_ENABLED=${IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED}",
+                 "-DANDROID_SUPPORT_FLEXIBLE_PAGE_SIZES=ON"
    }
}

Environment

• react-native: 0.78.0
• react-native-screens: 3.37.0
• Android NDK: 27.1.12297006
• New Architecture: enabled
• Target SDK: 35

Impact

Without patch: crashes on Android 15+ 16KB page size devices.
With patch: compatible with both 4KB and 16KB page size devices.

Testing

Verified on Android 15 emulator (16KB page size) and standard 4KB devices, debug and release, all architectures.

Hey! This is something that has been done a long time ago in #2702.

Likely the fix on you side is to use more up-to-date library version.

Closing the issue as there is nothing to be done on our side.
