Hello!

Thanks for sharing so great, clean and opensource utils for mobile with ue4!

Hope my questions here are not so out of topic. I’m figuring how to communicate 2 mobile Apps ( IOS or Android ) in the same terminal. One has an UE4 App and the other not ( that one launches the Ue4 App). Both requires share some info, text files right now.
My first attempt was to find a way to share that folder path for both Apps. So they can read/write there.

• Is it possible to get a generic folder path for both Apps using any internal (IOS or Android) functionallity?
• “Command line”](c++ - Android native application command line arguments - Stack Overflow) arguments added from the non UE4 would work too. Is there something I can do with **onActivityResult **/ intents?

This or other ideaslike here but impletable with Ue4 are so welcome. I’ve thought to use TCP messaging but not sure if that would be a good solution. Probably I would have to deal with SO permisions blocking messages like this TCP/UDP pluggin says: “You have to keep in mind that IOS blocks unsafe connections. It can be somehow deactivated.”

I’ve found a way to do that by sending OSC messages between the 2 Apps, and it’s working. But depending on the OS that might be unstable. (For Android is possible that App 1 get automatically closed if Android thinks this is good for the performance of the smartphone when launching App 2… No idea what can going on for IOS yet…
But all this about is not so much about this plugin.

So, referring to this plugin:
I’ve read best to do for Android is to add intent functionality to the UE4 App, so be able to receive Intents from specific APP and receive some data there.
Is it possible to do it using this plugin ?

Checking here (Add category to intent-filter into AndroidManifest.xml) what I need is to add an intent filter to allow to the App to be aware of that intent and the data.

I’ve read here too about the way override onActivityResult is using this:

<gameActivityOnActivityResultAdditions>
<insert>
// code
</insert>
</gameActivityOnActivityResultAdditions>

Is here where I will capture the Intent activity with the data?
The data that I want to receive is a Json file.

Thanks!

I’ve started to follow suggested Android instructions for Android do try to learn here and create my own functions here… But to try new functionalities is better to start directly modifying the game engine, right?

Hello, how did XXXX.embeddedframework.zip make it?

Hi, is there a way to remove READ_PHONE_STATE from my app since I don’t need Get Persistent Unique Device Id ? If I just package it for Google play store, they always say it’s already included in APK.

Edit: never mind, found it in MobileUtils_UPL_Android.xml, removed it and so far it works fine. Great plugin, thanks!

Hi,
I am struggling with getting auth token. After success with External UI i am using the function Get Auth Token, but the result is “Not Acquired”. Any idea what’s wrong or what should i do?

Thanks.

We are using the Check Internet Connection node on iOS and it always returns false. It is working for us on Android though… any idea why that might be?

You can disable READ_PHONE_STATE by removing 36 line in MobileUtils_UPL_Android.xml: https://github.com/gameDNAstudio/MobileUtils/blob/master/Source/MobileUtils/MobileUtils_UPL_Android.xml#L36

We recently noticed that Google and Epic changed APIs and function Get Auth Token no longer works on Android. To obtain Auth Token you need to have Ultimate Mobile Kit plugin with Firebase implementation: gameDNA is coming back very soon – gameDNA For obtaining Auth Token is useful function “Firebase Sign In With Google” in Firebase Authentication module.

Yes, you are right. You will capture Intent data in gameActivityOnActivityResultAdditions.

It depends on you. Currently we prefer to write functionality directly in the plugin

We’ve just tested this function on IOS and it works for us. If you use “Launch On” function, please use "File -> Package Project instead of.

Hello,

1. Please make XXXX.embeddedframework folder
2. Place XXXX.framework in this folder
3. Pack XXXX.embeddedframework folder using a zip tool.

hi.
i was searching for the method to produce embeddedframework and found your this post.
after following it i was able to add the framework as a zip file without any error.
But in reality i guess it was failing . bcz i was getting this warinning:

UATHelper: Packaging (iOS): ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/XXXX/Desktop/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/lib/ZZZZ.embeddedframework.zip, file was built for unsupported file format ( 0x50 0x4B 0x03 0x04 0x0A 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x7A 0xA5 0x89 0x4E 0x00 0x00 ) which is not the architecture being linked (arm64): /Users/ahsanOnly/Desktop/UnrealEngi
ne/Engine/Source/lib/ZZZZ.embeddedframework.zip

/lib/ZZZZ.embeddedframework.zip

and i was getting error of not finding the headers files that was inside that farmework.

can you give me some hints or clue about those warrings ?

btw, lipo -info gives me this things:

lipo -info ‘/Users/ahsanOnly/Desktop/ZZZZ.embeddedframework/ZZZZ.framework/ZZZZ’
Architectures in the fat file: /Users/ahsanOnly/Desktop/ZZZZ.embeddedframework/ZZZZ.framework/ZZZZare: armv7 i386 x86_64 arm64

so i guess arm64 architecture support already exist in that fat famework .
am i right?
