Kivy .so is too small to be an ELF executable [pygame bootstrap]

For unknown reason to me this happens:

[inclement]

I infer this doesn't happen without your changes? Are you able to try building with different combinations to isolate the exact cause of the problem?

[KeyWeeUsr]

No, it doesn't have anything to do with sdl2_launcher branch. Installed directly from master:

sudo pip uninstall python-for-android &&
sudo pip install https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/zipball/master &&
p4a apk --bootstrap=pygame --launcher --requirements=python2,pygame,sqlite3,docutils,pygments,kivy,pyjnius,plyer,audiostream,cymunk,lxml,pil,twisted,numpy --package=org.test.kivylauncher --version=1.0 --name=TestLauncher

[KeyWeeUsr]

This broke it: 7c1da72 see 98ce8bd#diff-80fe12080634c195316be23301e86be0R21 for the change. I added app as the path changed, but ANDROID_APP_PATH needs to be customizable, therefore no bindings should be allowed to such variable before python is actually run on the device. This happens during the compilation (too soon). Path is the same, variable not (critical).
