Here this is my configuration I am not a programmer so I have been just followed documentations or videotutorials so far ive got to this, if you see something odd please let me know:
You don’t need to set NDK level to android-21, it works fine with android-19 (changing to 21 means you need source to compile the engine).
And the distribution checkbox is in Packaging project settings. It is probably off but I wanted to check.
Hi, Some more feed for this thread:
When trying to build any BP tempalte for Gear VR, I get this in my log: (building C++ 1st person template works but I’m more of an artist so would like to work with BP)

Are BP projects compatible with GearVR? I would assume they are…
@earvant:
I see two possibilities. I see “NDK version: 21” which would require recompiling if you were using armv7 instead of arm64 (we use 19 for binaries for armv7 and 21 for arm64). The other one is you have a plugin enabled that shouldn’t be.
@Chris, thanks for the reply.
I’ve started with testing on 19 for both SDK and NDK, same error. Only other plugin active is Substance, all other plugins are standard plugins and all non-oculus plugins have been disabled. Building a C++ works, building BP = error.
EDIT: Disabled Substance plugin and BP packaging seems to work now. Wasn’t expecting Substance plugin to be the problem. Is this a known issue and are there plans to fix this? Funny that C++ packaging works with Substance enabled and BP packaging doesn’t.
