DataStore Component used: datastore-preferences

DataStore Version used: 1.1.1

Devices/Android versions reproduced on: N/A

Android Application Bundle (AAB) built with the following datastore-preferences dependency:

implementation 'androidx.datastore:datastore-preferences:1.1.1' // problematic

is causing the following issue in the Google Play Console:

This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.

On the other hand the version 1.0.0 is not causing any issues:

implementation 'androidx.datastore:datastore-preferences:1.0.0' // not problematic

I have the same issue. When building with androidx.datastore:datastore-preferences:1.1.1 the folder app/build/intermediates/merged_native_libs exists. When building with androidx.datastore:datastore-preferences:1.0.0 it doesn't.

When running nm -gD app/build/intermediates/merged_native_libs/release/mergeReleaseNativeLibs/out/lib/x86_64/libdatastore_shared_counter.so the output is

Hi there - what version of Gradle are you using?

le...@gmail.com <le...@gmail.com> #7Mar 30, 2025 05:11PM

Hi,
i am using
com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.9.1
https\://

services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.11.1-bin.zip

el...@google.com <el...@google.com> #8Mar 31, 2025 04:21PM

Is there any way you can provide a sample project repro-ing the issue? Otherwise it is very difficult for us to help get to the bottom of the issue. Thanks!

For example, consider this repository:

https://github.com/Lemkinator/GetIcon.
Currently, it uses datastore version 1.0.0, which appears to lack native code.
Upgrading datastore to version 1.1.4 might reproduce the behavior:

https://github.com/Lemkinator/GetIcon/blob/main/app/build.gradle.kts#L109

However, this outcome could be influenced by Gradle configurations or the operating system (I am on Windows 11), as I have encountered several related issues, such as the one discussed here:

Yes, datastore 1.1.0+ stable releases contain native code. If I understand it correctly, the message is more of a warning than an error?

le...@gmail.com <le...@gmail.com> #11Mar 31, 2025 08:28PM

There are no error or warning messages from Gradle. However, the debug symbols file is not being included in the Android App Bundle (AAB) as described in the documentation: https://developer.android.com/build/shrink-code#strip-native-libraries
