I bought an iPad Air 2, and I followed the full guide to launch a project on iOS. The provision and certificate are all set up correctly and loaded in the engine. I have iTunes installed, even on the same drive as Unreal Engine.
iTunes has a proper connection to my iPad. For some reason though, Unreal Engine is saying that iTunes is not installed, and will not let me launch the project on my device.
When I tried searching for a solution myself, the only results were from over a year ago when a new version of iTunes broke the connection for everyone. I haven’t been able to get any help from answer hub either.
I’m hoping someone here might know what is going on. What could cause Unreal Engine not to recognize my iTunes installation?
Bump I’m running into this problem as well, I’m using 4.19. Odd thing is it is only happening with the sun temple sample project everything else builds to iOS just fine. Very odd. I also had this same problem for all projects when I built from source. How does unreal engine check for the existence of iTunes? Does anybody know where it is in the code?
I found the reg ex key (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Apple Inc.\Apple Mobile Device Support\Shared\MobileDeviceDLL) but it is setup properly on my machine so I am pretty stumped. This is my UAT_Log.txt if anybody has any ideas:
