Android Packaging fails with Online Framework Plugin enabled

Important: Reproduction steps are at the bottom of this post

After converting to 4.13, I managed to get my c++ project compiling. I had to remove 'UPROPERTY’s inside ‘#if PLATFORM_WINDOWS’ statements, as well as remove the old SteamOSS from my Build.cs file and add the SteamOnlineSubsystem plugin instead.

However I can not package my game for Android and I get the following error:

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ATC)): UnrealBuildTool: C:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/4.13/Engine/Binaries/Android/UE4-Icmp-armv7-es2.a(Module.Icmp.cpp-armv7-es2.o):function UDPEchoImpl(ISocketSubsystem*, FString const&, float): error: undefined reference to 'HtoNS(unsigned short)'

The game packages just fine for Android with 4.12. And packaging for Windows still works just fine in 4.13. Any ideas what is going on?

Edit: So far, I have no clue what is causing the issue. I have tried refreshing the project (deleting binary, intermediate, and other folders). But that did not help, so any help is very much appreciated.

Edit 2: I can reproduce the issue, so I will upgrade this post to a bug report and provide reproduction steps below.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Create a new blank C++ project using UE 4.13
  2. Add the plugins “Online Framework Plugin” and “Online Subsystem Steam” (the plugins can be found under the category “Online Platform”
  3. Package the game for Android (All)

I am able to package for Android by disabling the “OnlineFramework” plugin, but that is obviously not a good solution, since I guess the plugin is needed for online features such as sessions.

AllJonasNeeds,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have verified that this is happening on both code and blueprint projects while using Online Framework and Online Subsystem Steam together. UE-35743 was entered for this issue. If you’d like to check up on the status, feel free to by reviewing our [live issue tracker][1].

Thanks!

Hi ,

I just noticed enabling the Online Framework plugin without Online Subsystem Steam already results in the packaging error. I just tested that with a new blank C++ project.

Yes, that’s included in the bug. Falls back on the Online Framework plugin.

Thank you!

Where can I find what The Features of the Online Framework Plugin. I cannot Find any documentation. Cheers
