So there are several things. It talks about a app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED and just before, Z:\app\src\main\java\com\epicgames\ue4\GameActivity.java:157: error: package com.google.vr.sdk.samples.permission does not exist

I don't understand why I would try to access a Google VR thing as I've disabled the Google VR plugin and I made sure nothing was linked to it.
Environement variables are properly set. Android sdk seems properly installed.

I'm having this issue for quite a while now and I still didn't found any solutions :/

Help is more than welcome. Thx

Nope, I've been looking for several months and nobody has an answer.
