I'm using Boinc 8.2.1 on an Android 15 tablet. I've noticed that on both Einstein and Asteroids (I have not checked on wuprop), looking on Device Details shows a Swap Size of 0 MiB, but the stderr will have a non-zero reported value (which is what I assume it is actually accessing when running): ~55 MiB for Asteroids, ~11229 MiB for Einstein. The tablet has a "Memory Expand" setting with an option of "12 GB", which I currently have it set at; based on a basic Google Search I'm presuming this is for the Swap Space/Virtual Memory, which the tablet allows you to set.

A question is whether this is something about how the Boinc client itself reports swap space, or something about the server configuration; either way, I can see a non-zero Swap Size under Device Details for an Android 12 phone I have connected to both projects, also using Boinc 8.2.1.
