Blank project deployment fails without errors/warnings into the log

Kymlands · April 16, 2018, 7:29pm

Hi people,

Despite the fact that I’ve followed the entire Unreal’s guide + verify the engine integrity + removed the intermediate folder and some other temp folders, my packages fail even on a blank project.
As you can see with the log, I do not see any errors or warnings. Feel free if somebody has an idea.

Note: Log attached to the post.

This is the error that made it not package:

The last line contains a file you need to pick and check/post to know the whole reason behind the failure. I think there are two possibilities:

essential data for publishing into iOS
date format is not the correct one, French and English I think are different, no? Anyway it is necessary to fill the expected one, that might be the english one month/day/year

, but anyway lets see that file

Thank for your help @NilsonLima ,
I’ve uploaded the UAT_Log.txt. I only found the error below, without knowing yet the right way to fix it.
Do you know how to edit the right entry with the right format?

I don’t know which field that info is related… it looks like a plugin issuing it, but I can’t tell. Try disabling the plugins one by one first, so you will locate which one is giving the error (if it is a plugin). After disabling all the plugins the only thing which remains is the info feed inside the iOS data for packaging.

Kymlands · April 21, 2018, 8:53pm

OK, I’ve followed your recommendation @NilsonLima and disabling all plug-in. No more errors. Thank you!

Now the latest message I got is:
Remote compiling requires a server name. Please specify one in the Remote Server Name Setting Field.
I’ve tried a few tips from the forum without success. Do I need to see my physical device (iPhone) into the Device Manager?

NilsonLima · April 21, 2018, 9:50pm

Nice that you got it working this time! Awesome! But beyond this is something I can’t help because actually I never packaged a iOs app myself, but I would say for you to send a message to @Antidamage that I know he does work with iOS projects.

Antidamage · April 21, 2018, 11:00pm

Remote compiling doesn’t work. Completely disable it in the iOS settings panel, clear any fields associated with it, etc.

Kymlands · April 22, 2018, 1:23pm

Hi @Antidamage and thank you for your time.
My current iOS setting panel dedicated to Remote Compiling is already empty (see screenshot below):
Do we speak about the same location?

Antidamage · April 22, 2018, 2:06pm

Is that from 4.19? Seems a little different.

4.19 fixed a lot of iOS build issues for me, particularly ones that can get you banned from the app store. If you’re not on it already, move to it.

Kymlands · April 22, 2018, 2:37pm

Yes, I’m on the version 4.19.1
I’ve added more screenshots to give you the big picture of the iOS panel.

Kymlands · April 30, 2018, 8:17pm

I confirm that I’m on the 4.19.1
No warnings / No errors into my entire log
