Deemk0 · September 11, 2016, 7:02pm

I have a project that i can deploy to android device, but when i add C++ code to the project i am not able to Launch project on android device anymore.
Basically I am building project inside VS and still getting this log afterwards.
Can anyone help?

Hello ,

From the following error message, it seems that you haven’t built your project for the correct configuration:

PackagingResults:Error: Error Launch failed! Missing UE4Game binary. You may have to build the UE4 project with your IDE. Alternatively, build using UnrealBuildTool with the commandline: UE4Game

If you are using the Launch option, this should be for the development configuration. Please open your .sln file in Visual Studio and change the Build Configuration to Development (Not development editor, this is for building for editor purposes) and then build it. You should be able to launch after this succeeds.

If you do package for Shipping however, you’ll need to do the same thing but use the Shipping Build Configuration.

Like i said i am able to load my project when it is blueprints only, but as soon as i add C++ class.first of all I get this :

After what i go to VS and try to compile project as configuration" Development " and i get this inside UE:

This would be due to your project name. If you create a project named just ‘Android’, it’ll cause problems when it comes to compiling as it’ll think that you’re trying to compile the Android SDK itself, not just a simple project. You’ll need to rename your project or create another project that doesn’t have a name like this.

anonymous_user_41845f4a · September 13, 2016, 7:41pm

The project is failing to compile whenever code is introduced due to the project name. Since the project never finishes compiling, nothing from the code side of things is being added to the project so the code class will not be visible.

Deemk0 · September 13, 2016, 7:37pm

so the problem with C++ project not appearing in Content browser was connected to “Android” proj name? or the second part with VS was about “Android” project name?
Anyway thank you very, very much for your help! I had this problem for days, was reinstalling codeworks hundred times as well as UE, almost gave up. Finally I created new project and migrated my old one, it seems evertything is fine now. Thank you!

As a followup, I’ll be putting in a report to get functionality added that will prevent users from naming their projects in this manner, so this won’t affect anyone in the future.

sounds good, thanks again.
