Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to package my project for two days now, but I keep running into an issue where, even though I’ve set the build configuration to Shipping in the project settings, the final package still ends up as a Development build. To troubleshoot, I also created a brand new proje…

I already tried that as well, unfortunately without success. I also tested whether enabling “For Distribution” would make a difference, but sadly that didn’t help either.

Can confirm the exact same results you are seeing. Total stable building in 5.5 then 5.6 i get the exact same errors.
