So I’ve been trying to get the login to Google Play working. My app is currently a tool, and because of that I do not Google Play Games. However, I looked into the Monitor.exe to see what error messages there were and I’m getting this:

Not sure what connection issues it means. I am on WiFi and this issue persists while other apps I can login just fine. So I don’t think my home connection is the cause.
The email I use to login is registered as a tester account email, so I doubt that that would be the issue.
As for the UI interaction. I looked online and there was no related assistance.
What confuses me overall are all the naming conventions used. I only require Google Play, not the games-specific services such as leaderboard and achievements. However I do require the use of IAPs, because my app is a tool. Can Unreal Engine even be used to create tools that do NOT use the Games services?
The only additional permission I have placed in Project Settings is the com.android.vending.BILLING for future IAPs.
I have also configured for distribution and have all associated signing information.
My Google Play license key is also correct.
I’m lost and not sure where to go from here because every error seems so generic.
Edit: also of note, I am building and launching directly through my device. Do I need to upload a build to Google Play and download that specific version before I can use login features?
