Android Launch To Device

I am new to UE development coming from an Android background. I believe I have everything set up right and installed TDAP successfully. I’ve ran into a few problems while trying to run the game on a device but I seem to be stuck at this point. Any help will be greatly appreciated. When I try to launch a game to my phone I get this error in the log:

Hi jman2015,

Unfortunately

is an infuriatingly generic error and could be caused by so many things, including many outside the editor. Please see this AnswerHub thread for a list of suggestions on where to start.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll look into this and see if there is anything that I haven’t already tried. I’ve been getting this error for a few days now and each time it showed a little more descriptive error message giving me a head start on where to look. But I didn’t really see much helpful to me here so I figured I’d post it here since I’m new to UE and quite possibly missing something simple. Its usually the simple things that cause headaches like this lol.

I just thought of a quick question. Being an Android developer the first thing I did was update the Android SDK to the latest versions and added support for newer versions of Android so I can support up to 5.0 with my game. Will making changes to the default installation cause issues like this or should that not have an effect on it?

Should be fine. It’s actually the last suggestion on the list in that AnswerHub. Just be sure to have SDK 19 and NDK checked when installing, if you set it higher you will not be able to package for devices running anything lower than 5.0.

Thanks for the assistance. I was able to get it working from these suggestions. Thanks for the help :D!
