Google Play 16KB alignment issue with WireGuard library - fix needed

[Houman]

I got this email from Google:

To ensure your app works correctly on the latest versions of Android,
Google Play requires all apps targeting Android 15+ to support 16 KB
memory page sizes.

>From May 1, 2026, if your app updates do not support 16 KB memory page
sizes, you won't be able to release these updates.


Thanks,
Houman
