Accolades are not working outside of Editor in UEFN v37.0

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

I’m using Accolade_Device.Award() function to grant XP to the Player. When I upload my project to Private Version, Accolades are not granting XP (via UEFN or Verse).
I connected a HUD Message to Accolade_Device.TestAwardEvent() to see if the event is signaled, but it is not.
In local Editor Session it works fine. In Private Version or Published Island Accolade doesn’t work.

That Island Code is for an Island that was released today and was not calibrated. It is not possible to grant XP until the calibration process of an Island is finished. It is showing granted XP in Edit Session and Playtest only for testing purposes. So it is not a bug that it is not granting XP in an Island that was just released and so far had no players.

I know about XP calibration.
It doesn’t show “XP Granted” in Private Version in playtests. AwardTestEvent is not signaled too.
It’s still a bug for me.
