This is reported by Android Studio 2024.2.3 ..

The native library x86_64/libandroid_spatialite.so (from com.github.sevar83:android-spatialite:2.0.1) is not 16 KB aligned Android has traditionally used 4 KB memory page sizes. However, to support future devices that only work with 16 KB aligned libraries apps containing native libraries need to be built with 16 KB alignment.

Apps with 4 KB aligned native libraries may not work correctly on devices requiring 16 KB alignment. To ensure compatibility and future-proof your app, it is strongly recommended that your native libraries are aligned to 16 KB boundaries
