I had posted a similar question a few weeks back, but got no reply, so I’ll try posting again. I’ve been trying to package my game for Android, but no matter what I do, I keep getting the build failed error. I’ve tried looking it up online, but I still cannot build my game. I’ve attached the log file this time.
Sadly, the actual error isn’t printing:
UEDeployAndroid.RunCommandLineProgramAndThrowOnError: Preparing native code for debugging...
UEDeployAndroid.RunCommandLineProgramAndThrowOnError:
Running: F:/NVPACK/android-ndk-r9c/ndk-build.cmd APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a " NDK_DEBUG=1
BuildCommand.Execute: BUILD FAILED
Program.Main: AutomationTool terminated with exception:
Program.Main: Exception in UnrealBuildTool: ERROR: F:/NVPACK/android-ndk-r9c/ndk-build.cmd failed with args APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a " NDK_DEBUG=1
You should go into the /Intermediate/Android/APK directory and run that command (F:/NVPACK/android-ndk-r9c/ndk-build.cmd APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a " NDK_DEBUG=1) and see if you see any more output.

Hi, thanks for replying. I did that, and here’s what I’m getting
C:\WINDOWS\system32>F:/NVPACK/android-ndk-r9c/ndk-build.cmd APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a
" NDK_DEBUG=1
Android NDK: Could not find application project directory !

ng . Stop.
Press any key to continue . . .
You are not running from the proper directory. You need to do this first:
pushd <PathToProject>\Intermediate\Android\APK
something like:
pushd "D:\Unreal Engine\My Projects\AwesomeProject\Intermediate\Android\APK"Oh ok! I did what you said, and this is the output I got.

Press any key to continue . . .Well frustratingly that looks all good (except for the Press any key to continue at the end - when I run ndk-build, I don’t get that happening). Maybe that is actually not coming from ndk-build?
Basically, I can’t tell what is happening, because command that your log shows is failing is working correctly when you run it…
Oh! Is there anything else I could show you that could give you an idea as to what’s wrong? For starters, I didn’t install UE4 in the default location, neither the android SDK files (The default location is C, but I installed it in F, since I didn’t have space in my C drive), but I set it in the project settings. Could that be on any use?
Hello ! I am experiencing the same error while compiling Unreal Engine on Android.
Doing the same command you recommended, I have this error. Could you please help me resolve it ?
D:\UnrealEngine\unrealengine-custom\Engine\Intermediate\Android>C:/NVPACK/android-ndk-r11c/ndk-build.cmd failed with args APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a " NDK_DEBUG=1

Thanks !
Please submit your own AnswerHub thread for additional assistance. This is an older thread and likely the issue is not the same.
Thanks!
hey guys, I had the same problem when I 'am trying to deploy my game on my tablet android 5.1 (API 22) so this is what I did :
- Project Settings > Android >
- check Support arm64 [aka arm64-v8a]
just that and then I had the Gradle problem I just unchecked the “Enable Gradle Instead of Ant”
Hope this helps
