Hello - Can you go into your Project Folder, Build, Android and look for the project.properties file and ensure that it is not set to Read Only? Thank You Eric Ketchum ---

I’m really stuck in the “Configure Now” issue as well. Could you please explain how to build android in the source code. Just building the project from Visual Studio isn’t enough apparently. ---

@ryuikuya would you mind explaining how to “build android in source code first”? As far as I see, the UE source code does not include a visual studio Android target for making builds: just win32, win64 and mac. ---

Hi @Lovecraft_K ♦♦ @ryuikuya yeah, I need to build android in source code first. But…actually there is no Android option. Could you give me any suggestion?

Finally I figured out by running Setup.bat –-include=Android. It’s because of lack of prerequisites and dependencies for android platform. ---
