Issue with launching Android game

I followed the Android Starting guide, and ended up with some issues.

  1. I can properly package a game, but it gets stuck installing when I run the batch file.

Text log of what shows in the batch file

  1. Launching directly from the editor gets stuck.

Image of what’s happening

I’m using a Galaxy S5, I’ve installed the latest SDK(tried reinstalling it), and I also have the latest OEM USB Drivers installed and my device shows up on adb devices on the command console along with the editor. I’ve tried with Tappy Chicken, and blank templates without starter content with the mobile option selected.
Any help would be great, this has been driving me crazy since I’m new to UE4.

Solution: Install a FTP server to your phone, then use FileZilla to transfer the APK to your device. Once you do that, run the apk file on your phone and it’ll install properly.

Note: Issue is still unsolved, I understand people may not know how to help. So I’m just going to try a few different things and hope for the best. Maybe develop it on the PC first. I really want to use UE4, but it’s not playing nice.

Seems like the connection to your device is acting funky. First off, make sure your device is in developer mode and you have usb debugging enabled. Then when you connect your device to your PC a message should pop up asking to allow the PC to debug, allow it. Then on your PC, if you have installed everything, type: adb devices . If your device shows when it is connected then it should be good to go. The log you have indicates that you have not allowed that PC to debug that device, which is needed for it to pop up in adb, which in turn is what unreal uses to deploy.

I tried it with my parent’s Galaxy S5, it installed the game without issues except it did crash when I tried launching it from the apps screen.

My Galaxy S5 stays stuck on executing the install every time.

Edit:
Developer mode is on.
USB Debugging is on.
I’ve tried accepting that message, and I’ve tried making it always trust the computer.

The odd thing is my device DOES show up when I execute adb devices from the command console. I’m going to try to use a friend’s S5 and their phone cord and I’ll report back.

Thank you.

Edit 2:
I factory reset my phone, and it still doesn’t want to work with my phone. It must be some sort of connection problem as it works with my friend’s phone.
