I’m developing a simple Android game - it’s basically finishing up a legacy project, done in UE 4.17. Throughout development, I’ve been using CodeWorks 1R6 that came with the engine and building it for android-19 - and it all went great. Thing is, now I’m trying to submit my simple game to the Play Store and since now all new games must target API Level 28, I had to change the targets. Problem is, when I change the SDK’s, the game does not want to package at all.
I’ve tried both uninstalling the old CodeWorks and installing 1R7 from the NVIDIA page and doing the same with 1R8 but this doesn’t change anything. I set NDK API to latest and SDK to matchndk and then minimum SDK to 19/21 (tried both) and target to 26/28 (tried both) but every packaging ends with either:
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (Multi:ASTC,PVRTC,DXT,ATC,ETC2,ETC1)): Program.Main: ERROR: AutomationTool terminated with exception: ERROR: D:/Programy/NVPACK/android-sdk-windows/tools/android.bat failed with args --silent update lib-project --path JavaLibs/common_library --target android-26
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (Multi:ASTC,PVRTC,DXT,ATC,ETC2,ETC1)): Program.Main: AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=1 (Error_Unknown)
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (Multi:ASTC,PVRTC,DXT,ATC,ETC2,ETC1)): BUILD FAILED
PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Error
or - when I tried downloading some custom tools folder online cause one guy presented it as a remedy:
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (Multi:ASTC,PVRTC,DXT,ATC,ETC2,ETC1)): Program.Main: ERROR: AutomationTool terminated with exception: ERROR: D:/Programy/NVPACK/android-ndk-r18b/ndk-build.cmd failed with args APP_ABI="armeabi-v7a " NDK_DEBUG=1
So either way, the process goes swell until NDK comes into play (the cmd window appearing). Then, it just breaks.
How can I solve it? Googled the whole internet but no luck there. Packaging to ETC1 instead of multi also doesn’t help. I’m completely stuck and don’t even know what to do since neither CodeWorks version does the job and the sdk changes don’t, either.
