Cannot package a plugin for Windows, because 'Android is not a valid platform to build'.

I have made a plugin that I want to package, but I am unable to. The output log states:

LogPluginBuilder: Building plugin for target platforms: Android, IOS, Linux, LinuxArm64, Win64

I have tried traditional packaging and Plugin Builder with Windows64 as the only selected option. Both result in the same message. In Project Settings, both locations of Android SDK are empty, since I never worked with Android in Unreal. Any idea how to get rid of that?

Hi Cyber.Dwarf,

Have you had a look through this document?

FIXED. Since I wanted to package it only for Windows, I simply added

“PlatformAllowList”: [
“Win64”
]

Inside “Modules” in my .uplugin. Now the plugin packages like a dream.
