I cannot deploy an project whose API Level is 31 on Android in accordance with this requirement.
[Background]
Packaging a vanilla project for test has succeeded with editing some files (explain it later), but I cannot deploy it on device.
The error part when launching the game is as below:

To fllow the instruction, I found the code creating the xml in Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Android\UEDeployAndroid.cs.

[WHAT I DID]
-
Decapitalized the packange name. I read it must be lower case somewhere on the Internet.
com.YourCompany.[PROJECT] → com.comp.prj -
Renamed two “d8” files to “dx”. The previous errors are that they were missing:
- AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\31.0.0\d8.bat
- AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\33.0.0\lib\d8.jar
- Raised gradle version 3.5.3 to 4.0.0 by editing UE_4.27\Engine\Build\Android\Java\gradle\build.gradle.
I confirmed that an API 31 project can be deployed on Android Studio, and just imitated the gradle. This change was affected, but probably no meaning for this problem.
[SETTINGS]
UE4.27 and Android Studio 4.0.
Project Settings:
I set android:exported=“ture” for UE4.GameActivity, of coure.
[Questions]
I think it would be successful or get just some similar errors for other tags like activity if I added one line Text.AppendLine(“\t\t android:exported="true"”); into com.epicgames.ue4.SplashActivity part and could build it.
So my questions are:
-
Are my procedure and estimate correct?
-
If 1. is yes, is it possible to build only C# code on UE4 engine? I don’t want to take much time to fully build UE4.
-
If 1. is no, please tell me a right method.
Even if 1. is yes, any other solution will be very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
