Compatibility

Compatibility

Current state of the 6.0-lts release, as built from the ffmpeg-kit repo today. This mirrors README, Compatibility section — that is the source of truth if the two ever drift.

	Current
NDK	r26c (26.2.11394342)
minSdk	24 (Android 7.0)
compileSdk / targetSdk	33 (Android 13)
ABI	arm64-v8a (prebuilt release); other ABIs buildable from source via android.sh, not published as releases
16 KB page size alignment	Not yet verified/enforced in CI — see Building for the manual check

Roadmap

Announced direction for this fork, not yet shipped:

• Bump compileSdk/targetSdk to 35 (Android 15) to clear deprecated-API warnings under current Google Play targeting requirements.
• Verify and enforce 16 KB memory page size alignment in CI, mandatory for new/updated Google Play apps since November 2025.

Track progress in docs/PATCH-NOTES.md.
