It successfully compiles. How ever game crashes out almost instantly if I have for distribution checked. If I uncheck it. game runs and I even see google play services window at boot if I uncheck for distribution.
Log files say these things I think are cause.

I have a possible work around and can perhaps shed light on what issue is. Using 4.5.1 compiled from source or not. I compiled out both with and with out distribution checked. I extracted apk files from both results. I then took AndroidManifest.xml file from distribution apk and copied it over one that had distribution unchecked. I then deleted signing folder. Rezipped files, and renamed it to .apk. Resigned it, zipaligned it, and it works! Google play store lets me upload apk file and it doesn’t crash back to desktop when I run it.
Thank you for reporting this issue. I have tested this issue on new 4.6.1 build and on 4.7 preview build on error is still occurring. I have however, tested issue on a newer internal build and error is no longer occurring. I am unsure as to when fix for this will be implemented into a released build but issue has been resolved.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you for confirming issue. I appreciate information about it not working on 4.7 either. I’m glad to hear it will be fixed eventually since it is in internal build. Thanks.
Thank you for update about issue not being resolved in 4.7 release of UE4. We have just released a hotfix for 4.7 (4.7.1) and I was wondering if you would be able to give this build a try and let me know if this issue has been resolved.
We just recently put a demo of our game up on Google Play. We ran into same problem. Hopefully it is ACTUALLY same problem and can help you.
Get this: in manifest where your package name is, com.whatever.yo, we had to leave last part at default where it automatically generates it based on on project name. Our package name through Google was com.deviousgamers.ihatemyjobdemo, and we had to rename our project to ihatemyjobdemo for it to generate correctly. Typing in name manually in manifest did NOT work.
Obviously it ended up working, or we wouldn’t have a demo up. It sounds bizarre and you might initially be like Nah dude that’s not issue. But it’s worth a shot. We were in a pretty desperate stage when we were trying things like that lol.
I appreciate your response. In 4.7 those settings are finally inside editor. I tried changing last part from .Marble back to .[PROJECT]. It did seem to add .Marble back correctly during cook on files. Unfortunately it did not help and it instantly drops me back to home screen still. I actually seen your app on store other day when I was browsing. I thought to myself great idea for a game haha. I wish you luck with your game. Thanks again for information. I will leave end part as default from now on just in case it helps in future.
Thanks for all of information that you have provided. I have entered JIRA report UE-11350 into our bug database so that issue may be addressed in a future release. I am unsure as to when this issue may be resolved but I will be sure to keep you posted as I know more about bug.
I have just received some information about your issue. When you are packaging your project for Distribution, do you have Distribution signing section filled out under Project Settings>Android section?
Also, have you created a Key Store for your project. This is vital when packaging your project for distribution.
Yes I transferred all information over from old xml file setup. Yes I have created a key store file. Yes I moved it into project/build/android. project would fail to build If I had not. As I said, project builds it just doesn’t work.I have to cook two versions each time. I have to decompress apk, copy dist version of file AndroidManifest.xml over top of non dist version, recompress, ,rename, resign, and realign. Then it works.
Sorry about that. When a comment is provided by myself, it will mark it as resolved if I provided first answer. I will be sure to check as I respond to your comments.
Thanks. I’m using version included with download tadp-2.0r8-windows. I’d like to use latest version as it has had a lot of optimizations but last I knew you had to use this version. I will get those posted as soon as I get home. I can also send would need to be direct all three packages if you want them. Cooked with out dist, with dist, and then fixed version that works.
