Peace Unto You! So I have a bit of a major issue here. Yesterday I got an email saying that in 200+ days I won’t be able to update my app unless I make my game compatible with 16 KB page size, and I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how to do that OR what “16 KB Page Size’“ even is. I use 3 extensions in my Defold project 1. Insality (events) (@Insality) 2. rendercam 3. AdMob I haven’t updated Defold itself yet, so I don’t know if I’m using the newest version of Defold, so I’ll update it once I’m home, but how would I go about updating my game to use 16 KB Page Sizes? Im NEW to coding, only been doing it 1 year started 08-16-24, so may someone PLEASE give me a step by step? Thank you, I am so grateful! ---

Peace Unto You! Thank you, for your presence. So I updated [@Defold](https://forum.defold.com/groups/defold) and I made a new build of the my game ‘THE ETHERS’ live on the Google play store now, buuuuut my Google play console is still saying I’m having policy violations with the 16KB Page Sizes. So updating the engine wasn’t enough… Is there ANY tutorials or anything for this cause I have 200+ days to figure this out before my app gets taken down, so this is priority number 1 for me LOL. Does the 16KB Page Size have anything to do with the 3 extensions I use? Insality Render Cam Admob ---

No I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with any of those extensions. I’ll ping @AGulev as he is involved in the issue. ---

Which version of Defold are you using? The fix was added in 1.10.4, not 1.9.8 (there was still a problem in that version). Please also read the issue thread and check for clues: [https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/10976](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/10976) ---

Peace Unto You! I’m finally home now and i see that i have upgraded my defold engine to 1.10.4 and the build of the game that’s currently out is the build made within this update, so that part is covered. Based on what the last guy said it should’ve been as simple as update defold then make a new build but that didn’t work work, so may you please give me the steps to increase the page size to 16 kb page size? Like when i say i have ZERO idea on how to approach this issue, i really don’t. I’ll look through the thread you sent for clues, and follow up with any other questions after. I’m finally in front of my pc so i have energy for this now LOL. Thank you, we are very grateful! ---

HOLD ON YALL I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT! THE UPDATE DID WORK, BUT GOOGLE PLAY CONSOLE STILL SAYS POLICY ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THE 16 KB PAGE SIZE!!! So i was trying to figure out why I kept seeing the policy issue on Google Play Console, then there was this link that says check if your app supports 16 KB Page Sizes, and I checked my latest build scrolled to the bottom, and it said IT DID (see screenshot), but im still seeing the policy issue so im confused, and for whatever reason EVERY TIME I try to contact google themselves it says error, so ima try to find an email to have them fix this issue. ![Screenshot 2025-08-31 112938](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/d/1/d18fb953fb916ebd91d1be770a5ce87ea7bf02fd.png) ![Screenshot 2025-08-31 113006](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/8/e/8ef1990fa5b79850b0ef2883f44c8af9bdd13b34.png) ---

You must close all previous versions (even test versions). Look at the message more carefully, it will indicate the numbers of the problematic builds. ---

Peace Unto You! Thank you! I found that a paused test build was for what ever reason '“active” even though it was paused. I updated it to the current update that supports 16 KB Page Sizes, and the Google forums said give it a few days, then the policy issue should disappear. We shall see… Aside from that, thank you I am very grateful!
