Recently I noticed that in new projects where I use Jetpack Datastore I have a new native lib added to apps’ bundle:
bundle.abbbaselibarm64-v8alibdatastore_shared_counter.so
What is that exactly?
and yeah I didn’t have it previously with:
androidxDataStore = "1.0.0"
but got it after updating to:
androidxDataStore = "1.1.0"
update:
the issue here that now Google Play Console shows me a warning about debug symbols:
I tried to add
android {
...
buildTypes {
...
release {
...
ndk {
debugSymbolLevel = "FULL"
}
}
}
as described here
But it didn’t change anything…
This appears to be related to: androidx/datastore/multiprocess/SharedCounter.kt, which may provide backend access control. See androidx.datastore.core, for example DataStoreImpl<T>:
/**
* If downstream flow is UnInitialized, no data has been read yet, we need to trigger a new
* read then start emitting values once we have seen a new value (or exception).
*
* If downstream flow has a ReadException, there was an exception last time we tried to read
* data. We need to trigger a new read then start emitting values once we have seen a new
* value (or exception).
*
* If downstream flow has Data, we should start emitting from downstream flow as long as its
* version is not stale compared to the version read from the shared counter when we enter
* the flow.
*
* If Downstream flow is Final, the scope has been cancelled so the data store is no
* longer usable. We should just propagate this exception.
*
* State always starts at null. null can transition to ReadException, Data or
* Final. ReadException can transition to another ReadException, Data or Final.
* Data can transition to another Data or Final. Final will not change.

The name multiprocess just doesn’t align with the definition of “multiprocessing”, which involves multiple processors – because in reality, it doesn’t matter on which processor a forked thread runs.
