Hey I am fairly new to Unreal Engine probably like couple of months since I started to develop with Unreal Engine.
I have a question about how to use point cloud data in the level.
At first, I was able to bring point cloud data into the viewport in Windows without any problem, so I wanted to use this point cloud data same into Android. However, in Unreal Engine5 I cannot use LiDAR Point Cloud Support plugin without Point Cloud support for AR Plugin since LiDAR Point Cloud Support plugin do not support Android. The another problem comes up that Point Cloud support for AR Plugin is crashing Unreal Engine5. Therefore, I move my project in Unreal Engine 4.26 where I can use both plugins. But I when I put my point cloud data into the project and package into Android I do not see the point cloud data in the level.

What do I need to do to show point cloud data in Android?

You probably need to add permission for your app to read external storage in your manifest file

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

The point cloud plug-in of Unreal Engine 5 does not support the Android platform, and an error message will be reported during compilation. Unreal Engine 4 does not report an error and can run normally, but the point cloud is not displayed. It seems that it is not supported too？
