Kevinjosue2326 · February 16, 2017, 1:10am

I was trying to build a simple map, in the latest version of unreal, apparently I’m referring to something Engine.h plataformCrt.h, Wchar.h?

In version 4.14.3 I managed to build without problems. What is this error due to?

My android project is building fine in 4.15 but, the apk starts and then crashes when I run it on the phone. As you, It was running fine in 4.14

Anyway, for your problem, I’ll tell you what I try.

Try to create a blank project, go for 3D/2D for insert reason here, save the default map and set it in maps and mode. Don’t change any settings.

Go to the android under Project settings → Platforms → Android and configure it (not the play servicces). Check Package game data inside apk.

Project settings → Project → Supported Platforms → Check only Android

Packaging → Create compressed if you like. And try to package (I do it for ETC1)

Also, just for note. I have → Full package.

If it still don’t work. Go to the launcher. Click that little arrow near the launch button (In the “engine version” section) and select verify.

If still not working then the only solution I can suggest is re-download and re-install.

Make sure you update your Android NDK. It looks outdated. Here is an example from my engine:

Thanks!

Hello,

Probably not the most appropriate place to inform but,

Just noticed that the apk crashing that I was talking about above was happening due to -

Update - Ok, I am pretty sure it is the nativize blueprint asset set to “inclusive” that was stopping the apk. The game Builds successfully, but when you run it on device, it starts, the splash screen shows up and then it exits. I checked it. When I set it to “disabled” it runs fine. I don’t know about the “Exclusive” setting though.

I also had many problems trying to cook and install a simple app on android targeting Api 15 and this was the only thing that make it work for me:

I have started with a fresh install of UE4.15
Then installing CodeWorksforAndroid-1R5-windows.exe
(my FIX) Make sure to select also SDK api level 19 (and other you need)
Then on Platforms-Android SDK settins everying like the image from @Samantha_Sutton except replaced “latest” for “android-19”
Delete all the cache files from your project and reconfigure your Android app settings. I set desired Target SDK as 15.
Build

And finally is working for me running the App on android phone.

I’m having similar issues. I’m running 1r5, which shipped with 4.14. here’s a segment I pulled from the log:

I’ll try turning of nativized blueprints, but that was a big plus for performance I was hoping to utilize.
