[4.13] Plugin Packaging - No BuildPlatform Found For Androi

Development Pipeline & Plugins Plugins

I am attempting to create a plugin to distribute to friends, and it compiles fine in Visual Studio, no problems from the Unreal Build Tool, and the entire project can be packaged.

Whenever I attempt to package the plugin from the Plugins menu, though, I received the following error:

CommandUtils.Run: Run: Took 31.9848294s to run UnrealBuildTool.exe, ExitCode=0
Program.Main: ERROR: AutomationTool terminated with exception: ERROR: GetBuildPlatform: No BuildPlatform found for Android
Program.Main: AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=1 (Error_Unknown)

I’m not sure what exactly is going wrong here, and the logs

I had this exact problem myself.

This is the full log. It gives the error that there is no BuildPlatform found for Android while trying to package the plugin. When I try to configure the Android platform, it gives an error that it cannot read project.properties, and the Android folder in /Build/ is empty.

In the project settings, please make sure that Android is selected as one of them. Also make sure you’ve properly updated your Project Settings > Android SDK section.

Do all plugins need to be set up for Android? I had no intention of packaging it for Android, but even when I try to uncheck Android, it simply doesn’t let me not try to package for Android.

  • Is this only happening with the plugin that you created?
  • Does any other project receive this error while packaging?
  • Have you checked the active plugins in your project?
  • Have you tested within a new version of the engine?

Here is an [AnswerHub][1] that ran into this issue, but it’s for Mac. It may or may not be useful in your situation.

Thanks!
