Hi all,
UE5 says I have no Android SDK “properly” installed. I have latest VS with all necessary components and also added Unreal support components - abouit 7 Gigs!!! And ■■■■ thing still says I have to manually insrtall ■■■■, called Android studio and give another 10 or more gigs! And additionally it requires me to download OLD Android studio - dried up ■■■■!!! While Unity builds android and ios apps without any additional crazy hoops. Thats why Unreal is total garbage for mobile games. I hoped they would change this terrible approach in ue5, but it is all the same useless ■■■■!
All this shows they give ZERO importance to mobile games! Why you have mobile platform in supported platforms list epic, to cheat people?! Shame on you!
UPDATE: I tried to download dried up ■■■■ named Android Studio 4.0, installed it and did everything as said here: How to Set Up Android SDK and NDK For Your Unreal Engine Development Environment | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
Needless to say IT HADN’T WORK. Although I ACCURATELY followed instructions, SetupAndroid.bat always fails. I wonder how you can create one of the most advanced game engine and be so pathetic at the same time!
