LogPlayLevel:Display: BUILD FAILED

This error was displayed from Output Log when I packaged or lanched android.
I found this comment but followed to comment to say that build each of the .Automation scripts, I still don’t lanch or package my project.
I builded .Automation scripts when I set my environment to Development Win64.

also, I builded package by using Visual Studio 2013 and played this builded app in my galaxy S3 ( SHW_M440S).
but this failed to launch the builded app. the app immediately turned off.

Plz, help me.

I got the same problem. I tried building a Development and Shipping build, it didn’t work. Here’s the relevant build output lines:

And here’s the referenced code:

public override void PostBuildTarget(UE4Build Build, string ProjectName, string UProjectPath, string Config)
	{
		// Run UBT w/ the prep for deployment only option
		// This is required as UBT will 'fake' success when building via UAT and run
		// the deployment prep step before all the required parts are present.
		**if (ProjectName.Length > 0)**
		{
			string ProjectToBuild = ProjectName;
			if (ProjectToBuild != "UE4Game" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(UProjectPath))
			{
				ProjectToBuild = UProjectPath;
			}
			string UBTCommand = string.Format("\"{0}\" Android {1} -prepfordeploy", ProjectToBuild, Config);
			CommandUtils.RunUBT(UE4Build.CmdEnv, Build.UBTExecutable, UBTCommand);
		}
	}

The comment seems to mention something about it but I can’t tell what exactly. Someone more knowledgeable, please answer.

Hi HadiDev. This is a known issue when building for Android on a machine that does not have Incredibuild installed. You can work around it for now by installing a trial version of Incredibuild, but we should have a patch out soon to fix this.

I’ve installed Incredibuild, tried packaging from both the installer version and built source code version of UE4, and even built the editor from Visual Studio using Incredibuild, but I still receive that same error. I’m assuming the fix was not included in the 4.0.2 update.

Has this been fixed yet? I’m still getting this error.
