Android Game only works with "Data inside .apk" enable

Hello,
When I install and play “Tappy Chicken” on my android tablet with “Package game data inside .apk?” disable, the screen goes black for a few seconds then goes back to the home menu, but if I install and play TC with “Package game data inside .apk?” enable, it works perfectly. I tried the same thing with my phone “Galaxy S II” and it works with “Package game data inside .apk” disable and enable. Then I tried with “Galaxy S5” and only with “data inside .apk” enable like my tablet. Is there away to fix this? I’m new to all of this, so I might be overlooking something.

I’m using:

  • UE 4.7.5
  • Tappy Chicken ( Didn’t change anything but “Package game data inside .apk”)
  • On PC
  • Package Project ETC1
  • First Device: Allwinner A23 Model Q8H Tablet runs Android 4.2.2 (Cheap tablet but it runs the game great but only when the above is enable.)
  • Second Device: Galaxy S II runs Android 4.1.2 (Works no matter what.)
  • Third Device: Galaxy S5 runs Android 4.4.2 (Works just like the Tablet.)

Nothing goes wrong when packing the project from what I can see.

Thanks for any help!

Hi!

Enable or disable оptions “Package game data inside .apk?” needed only when you upload your game to store.

Google Play require .apk less or equal 50 Mb. And package higher than 50 Mb, must be splitted to small .apk and big .obb. But in UE4.7 loader is buggy, and not always work. It will be fixed in UE 4.8.

Service Amazon require only single file .apk any size.

Ok, thanks. I just wait for 4.8 for the fix.
