OnlineSubsystemFacebook Android on Engine 4.13

We have a problem packaging for Android, we’re using OnlineSubsystemFacebook for authentication purpose but it seems that there is a problem with the OnlineSubsystemFacebook library for android, this is the error log:

UnrealBuildTool: clang++.exe: error: no such file or directory: ‘C:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/4.13/Engine/Plugins/Online/OnlineSubsystemFacebook/Binaries/Android/UE4-OnlineSubsystemFacebook-armv7-es2.a’

We can see that there is no Android folder in the /Binaries folder, but just iOS, Win32, Win64.

Do you know if at least OnlineSubsystemFacebook is available for Android in the engine 4.13?

UPDATE:

We tried several solutions without success. The problem persists; we have created a clean blueprint project enabling the OnlineSubsystemFacebook, the project packages correctly but once the app is open, an alert message shows up “OnlineSubsystemFacebook not found, do you want to disable it?”. Adding the C++ blank class cause the alert to not to be showed. But the problem is when we want to use the OnlineSubsystemFacebook. We’re using this guide from Gamesparks, the only thing we’ve added is the condition Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Android in the build.cs file of our project. It’s working correctly on the pc (in viewport or by packaging), we can login using Facebook; but when we try to package to Android (even if we use or don’t use the classes pointed out in the guide) the build error shows up.

This is the full log when we try to package fro Android(all):

We can’t find any information about the availability for Android of the OnlineSubsystemFacebook.

Hi TinyCup,

I was able to package for android after enabling the OnlineSubsystemFacebook plugin. Could you try packaging in a clean project. I looked through my build log and didn’t see the same message you posted here. Are you using default build settings. Also are you packaging to android(all) ?

Ed

Hi can you please tell us if you have the Android folder in the /Binaries folder atfer the package build? We’ve alse tried to packaging for Android(all) but the error remains.

I don’t have the Android folder in the /Binaries folder you pointed out however, this didn’t prevent me from packaging.

Try packaging in a blank code project. I’d just like to point out (just in case) that enabling the OnlineSubsystemFacebook plugin in a blueprint project will return errors since the engine thinks it is a code project (after enabling the plugin) and is looking for code to compile. To get around this just add a blank C++ class.

If the issue occurs in a blank project please include the full output log from when you started packaging. That will assist in this investigation.

If this only occurs in your personal project then this issue is unique to your project and you will need to review your code/assets to make sure there are no errors causing this problem.

Hi @Ed, i’ve update the OP to show the full log. Please let me know if you need more informations.

Downloading the source code of the Engine we can see that in the OnlineSubsystemFacebook.Build.cs, the Android platform is not supported yet.
