4.10.4. Building an IOS app from Windows machine. Throws exception if you have a ‘&’ character in one of the two fields mentioned in the title: Easy enough to fix but probably should check for that rather than making the guess what it may be =)

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have tested this and put in a bug for this issue. UE-27805 is the number if you’d like to check on it in a few weeks or so.

Thanks!
