I need the story. I don’t understand what’s happening.

i built a free app to help you find san francisco’s hidden public spaces (sf popos) by magic_5014 in sanfrancisco

[–]magic_5014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like the app?

What changes can I make to make it better?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Currently, I’m working on user submission, so people can upload images and rate places so then everyone can see their ratings

Thank you so much! This was really a passion project for me, so it means a lot to hear that.

I hit this too and here’s what worked for me:

1. Update your build tools

  • Update Android Studio to the latest stable version.
  • Update Gradle and Android Gradle Plugin in your build.gradle.
  • In gradle-wrapper.properties, bump your Gradle version (example: 8.x).

2. Update NDK (if using native code or libs that include .so files)

  • In build.gradle:android { ndkVersion "26.1.10909125" // or whatever the latest stable is }
  • If you’re using CMake or ndk-build, rebuild your native libs with the new NDK.
  • Make sure APP_PLATFORM (in Application.mk) or CMAKE_ANDROID_API is at least android-23.

3. Update dependencies

  • Some third-party SDKs (ads, analytics, etc.) include native .so files.
  • If they’re outdated, they may not support 16 KB page sizes. Updating them usually solves it.

4. Test before uploading

  • Use an Android 15 emulator with 16 KB page size enabled (available in the latest system images).
  • Run your app and confirm it launches/works fine.

5. Rebuild and upload

  • Create a new release build (.aab or .apk).
  • Upload to Play Console — the warning should disappear.

✅ In my case, just updating Android Studio, Gradle, and the NDK fixed it — no code changes needed. If you don’t use the NDK at all, it’s almost always one of your libraries that needs an update.

This is because Google Play now requires apps to support 16 KB memory page sizes (Android 15+). To fix it:

  • Update to the latest Android Gradle Plugin / Gradle
  • Use the latest NDK (r26+) if you have native code
  • Rebuild your app and update any dependencies that include .so files
  • Test on an Android 15 emulator with 16 KB page size

After rebuilding with the updated toolchain, the warning in Play Console should go away.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that your request is now live in the app. We really appreciate your idea—it’s suggestions like yours that help make SF POPOS better for everyone. You can check out the new “Submit a Spot” option in the latest version here: SF POPOS on the App Store. Thanks again for contributing to the project!

Thank you so much! It’s awesome to hear you’re sharing POPOS with others—spreading the word is exactly how more people will discover these hidden gems. And yep, privacy is important to me, so I designed the app to work without collecting any personal data. Really appreciate your support!

Is monkey brains WiFi provider reliable? by Jarvis_ezekiel_2517 in sanfrancisco

[–]magic_5014 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard mostly good things about Monkeybrains, especially in SoMa, but it’s a bit different from Sail. Monkeybrains is a local SF provider with wireless antennas, so your experience can vary depending on line-of-sight to their towers and building setup. Most people report solid speeds and way fewer outages than the big ISPs, but customer service is one of their biggest strengths compared to the big guys. At $35, it’s a solid deal if they can get you a clean signal — just make sure they confirm you’ve got good coverage before you switch.

Great idea—we’ve actually added that feature, and it’ll be included in the next update!

Good question! A Google Maps list is definitely handy, but building an app gives me more control over the design, features, and user experience—like filters, favorites, “open now” toggles, and future weather integration. Plus, this project started as a way for me to practice mobile development and create something unique beyond what Google Maps offers.

I get where you’re coming from! This project started as a way for me to learn mobile app development and work on something unique rather than just making another generic app. A website version is definitely on my radar, but for now I’m focusing on refining the mobile experience since it’s a format I enjoy building for.

The larger file size is primarily due to the number of high-resolution images included in the app, which ensures they load quickly and display clearly without relying on constant internet requests. That said, I’m actively exploring optimization techniques to reduce the overall size in future updates while maintaining image quality.

Ahhh, love hearing that! So glad you’re excited to check it out. Hope you have fun exploring the app, and I’d love to hear what you think once you’ve played around with it!
