Android is missing from Platform folder

Hi all, i am extremely new to Unreal and building a game. Everytime i build a game it gives me an error asking for storage on the phone. Realistic i used AI to help me build the game and now im screwed after a month or so and its telling me to get android folder in the platforms folder to eventually get this to work. i need help badly. No matter what i do its always the same asking for storage permission on my phone and permissions is greyed out. what do i need to do using version 5.5.4. i havent seen any unreal builds with androind included.

Hey @Happy2472, what a weird issue. Now ill double check some things with you, You do have the Android SDK installed for your PC/UE build correct?
Also you may need to enable developer mode on your android phone if you haven’t already. And have you done a test on your phone with UE and running it whilst plugged into the computer before packaging it to ensure everything is working?

I’m sure all of this you may have done already but just wanting to check some things off and get more info before continuing.

I’m sure you’ve already looked at the documentation but just in case here is the link
