Building Unreal Source from Xcode

Development Getting Started & Setup

Did something change in the source that would prevent this? I had to rebuild my Mac. I was DEFINITELY able to do this before, but now it’s throwing literally hundreds of errors like I’m missing a pre-req, but I’ve scanned all the documentation I can find and can’t seem to find what I’m missing.

Error example:

/Users/me/UnrealEngine/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Public/HAL/PerModuleInline.inl:10:1: implicit conversion loses integer precision: 'size_t' (aka 'unsigned long') to 'uint32' (aka 'unsigned int') [-Werror,-Wshorten-64-to-32]

   39 |         void* FMemory_Malloc ( size_t Size, size_t Alignment                 ) { return FMemory::Malloc( Size ? Size : 1, Alignment ); } \

      |                                                                                         ~~~~~~~                           ^~~~~~~~~

try to downgrade your Xcode to 16.2 :upside_down_face:

That sure looks like it did the trick. Way to be backwards compatible Apple! :laughing:

please note that, the engine team from epic has committed Xcode16.3 required compilation fixes to dev_UE5.5 branch, that might solve your issue.

Clone the Unreal Engine repository from GitHub before building Unreal Engine source from Xcode. Using the Xcode IDE, open the .uproject file, configure settings, and build.
