Hello

I don’t understand why, I can’t install my application on my phone. I’ve been trying for several days but I can’t find a solution. When I try to install it on my phone via the installer in the “astc” folder, I get an OBB error

If I try to install via the PlayStore, I get the error “Download failed because you may not have purchase this app”

I hope that someone get a solution -

Please, I need help !

Hey @liam.vd,

Sorry no one ever answered your original question. I hope you ended up finding a solution to this back in the day.

@lucky_geo_mango if you’re hitting the same error today, it’s almost certainly Android 11+ Scoped Storage. The system now locks down /sdcard/Android/obb// and won’t let adb shell mv write into it. UE’s old install script (pre-5.3) doesn’t know about this. Which version of Unreal Engine are you using?

As a workaround, edit the Install_*.bat, remove the mv line, and push the OBB straight to its destination:

adb shell mkdir -p /sdcard/Android/obb/<package>

adb push main.<version>.<package>.obb /sdcard/Android/obb/<package>/

Newer UE versions (5.3+) already generate the script this way.

Hope it helps!
