I'm experiencing this issue too when starting a vite dev server:

I'm experiencing this issue too when starting a vite dev server:

Yes, this is because vite uses rollup.

[peasneovoyager2banana2]

Running:

npm cache clean -f
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm i

and even manually installing @rollup/rollup-android-arm64 and then repeating the steps above didn't help. (See npm/cli#4828)

Manually installing @rollup/rollup-android-arm64(*) didn't help

So if I understand this correctly, the error is cannot locate symbol "__emutls_get_address" in the Android code (which is wrongly reported as "Cannot find module"). So apparently the generated code is not runnable on your platform. I wonder

• are Android builds broken for everyone or do they work for some? If so, for whom?
• could we fix this by going to a different nightly Rust build?

Unfortunately, I do not know how to debug this, but I can assist in trying out things.

happend to me too when running vite dev mode

1. remove the package-lock.json file and node_modules directory
2. write in your package.json: "overrides" : { "rollup": "npm:@rollup/wasm-node" }

i think they should by now start using wasm instead of native binaries

It seems that all Android Arm64 devices have this problem.🤔

I also have this problem when using valaxy.Both my Huawei Pad (HarmonyOS 4.2, based on Android 12) and my OPPO phone (Android 9) have encountered this issue.

Here is my error log ↓ I hope it can be of some help

projects using pnpm can add in package.json："pnpm": { "overrides": { "rollup": "npm:@rollup/wasm-node" } }

Maybe the current temporary solution is using a wasm build.

~/p $ npm i @rollup/wasm-node

I tested this on Termux (Android) with Node v24.7.0 and Rollup v4.46.3.
@rollup/rollup-android-arm64 is installed in node_modules, and native.js is present.

However, npx rollup -v works fine for me — it prints rollup v4.46.3 without crashing.
So it looks like the Android build is not broken for everyone, maybe depending on the exact libc / Android version.

For reference, Termux maintainers said this is related to Android’s bionic libc, not Termux itself.

Reference: -

It is not related to termux. It is related to bionic. Termux does not have its own libc, it uses the one provided by Android. Probably you should ask rollup developers to workaround this.

Hey hyper 👋, I am the author of the issue which you referenced. Somehow mine is actually working or you can say magically in a sense as you can see here :-

npx rollup -v
rollup v4.46.3
➜  meanings-docs  git:(master) ✗ ls node_modules/rollup/dist
bin                loadConfigFile.d.ts  parseAst.js
es                 loadConfigFile.js    rollup.d.ts
getLogFilter.d.ts  native.js            rollup.js
getLogFilter.js    parseAst.d.ts        shared
➜  meanings-docs  git:(master) ✗ ls node_modules/@rollup | grep android
rollup-android-arm64
➜  meanings-docs  git:(master) ✗ node -v
v24.7.0

But if I switch to pnpm and try to make another docs project then the rollup error follows up. I can't say about yarn yet.

Hi, I recently noticed some error messages in the Android build that I addressed by changing the linking process. Can someone check if the situation has improved with rollup@4.50.2?
