After tinkering around a bit I found that the plugin works using Launch to device(my phone), but won’t once I package it into an APK and push to my device.
I’m finding that the java side of the code isn’t being called. I was able to determine this successfully by adding logcat debug text which appears when using Launch but not once compiled.
Some checklist tasks that have helped me track down this sort of issue before…
Any warnings/errors shown while packaging? What are they?
Have you tried launching/building in both development and shipping configurations? And with distribution flag set? Proguard will only run when distribution flag is set in packaging settings and often reveals a bunch of issues to run through
Are you making JNI calls from the engine? Add log statements that get removed for shipping builds within the C++ code as well as in the Java code you can then verify in Logcat on which end things are failing?
Are you making JNI calls from Java to engine? Same as previous.
You may have tried some of these already but wanted to list as these things have worked for me in the past.
The Proguard issue is almost always an issue if you are trying shipping/distribution packaging. You can add to the Proguard rules in UPL (proguardAdditions section).
I agree adding logging is the best way to track down the issue if this isn’t the case. You can also look in the generated code in Intermediate/Android/APK/src and see exactly what was compiled.
