Unable to build with Google VR plugin in 4.12

Hi,

Issue 100% reproducible on clean install of UE4.12, Windows 7.

  • Create blank blueprint project for mobile.
  • Enable Google VR plugin.
  • After reload of the engine/editor, build and try to deploy to Android phone.
  • BUILD FAILED. Console log below.

If the plugin is disabled, it deploys to Android with no problem. If the plugin is enabled, it fails to deploy again. The Android phone is using Android 5.1.1 and its HW has been tested with demanding Cardboard apps (it is an LG Flex 2)

HI fortesdev,

Can you make sure that you’ve followed the steps outlined in this documentation guide: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/GoogleVR/QuickStart/index.html

Following along with this I was able to deploy to GoogleVR.

I did a quick Google Search and found these results that may be worth you investigating: Search Results Here

  • Try reinstalling the AndroidWorks
  • Make sure you’ve got the correct NDK from Android
  • Install the latest Java version

Thank you!
