4.27.2 Android Packaging Error 'java:372: error: cannot find symbol'

D_Artagnan69 · March 14, 2023, 6:17pm

My game which used to package without any error is now failing with this error ‘UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): Z:\app\src\main\java\com\epicgames\ue4\GooglePlayStoreHelper.java:372: error: cannot find symbol’ also attached the output log. I hadn’t changed anything in the project settings or in Android Studio, the last time I packaged was on 19 Feb 2023 and it was fine but when I tried to package it yesterday 13 March 2023, it failed with this error. I have no idea what is causing it, I have tried reinstalling Android Studio, removing and adding Api and build tools several times but I cannot solve this. No solutions from other discussions are working. I’m literally losing my mind over this. Please help.

D_Artagnan69 · March 27, 2023, 7:02pm

Hey bro, sorry to bother you again but I really need your help. I want to implement Google Play Services login in my game and so I enabled EOS plugin. But then I got error " [UE4.27.0] Unreal Plugin file Engine\Source/ThirdParty/EOSSDK/EOSSDK_UPL.xml missing!" . So I downloaded this file from a forum solution
eossdk_upl.xml (1.1 KB)
. But then I started getting a different error " UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): ERROR: AndroidManifest.xml is invalid System.Xml.XmlException: ‘“’ is an unexpected token. The expected token is ‘"’ or ‘’'. Line 4, position 47. " I tried to disable the plugin but I’m still getting the error, I even reinstalled the engine and it didn’t work. You are my last hope now. Please help. Attaching the log file as well.

Hi please help me @dev.ue.games

D_Artagnan69 · April 3, 2023, 12:11pm

Hey, thanks for the reply bro. I solved the issue, it was due to 2 lines that I added in node tags. * com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID=“@string/app_id” and com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID=“@string/app_id”. According to this thread ’ Integrate Google Play Services with Blueprint - #2 by OmniOwl ’ . I removed those lines and the packaging worked but I still cannot find a way to implement Google Play Services to my game.
Do you have any knowledge on how to do that? If you do please tell me.

dev.ue.games · April 3, 2023, 3:41pm

this is interesting I thought it was some kind of joke ) but …

dev.ue.games · April 3, 2023, 3:45pm

try

com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID="@string/app_id"
com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID="@string/app_id"

D_Artagnan69 · April 3, 2023, 4:19pm

Now the game is packaging but after installing in my phone it crashes when I call the ‘Show External Login UI’ node.
