Integrate an Unreal Engine App with a Native iOS App?

Development Discussion Platforms Mobile Development

Hi,

I have two iOS apps. One is made on Unreal Engine and the other is a native iOS app (Swift, etc.). I have access to the source codes of both apps.

Instead of running two apps, I want to migrate some functionality from the UE app to the iOS App. Workflow will be something like below:

Start iOS App -> Call UE related functions/BPs -> Update Native iOS App View

Have you done this already? Any tips, tricks or methods/frameworks that can speed up the process?

Thanks

Basically this is what I was after: https://forum.unity.com/threads/integration-unity-as-a-library-in-native-ios-app.685219

Unity runs great on a native iOS app. If we could do the same with Unreal, it will be ultra cool!

Did you get anywhere on this? I submitted a feature request, but I am also considering how to modify the engine to achieve this.

Oh my God. Seems Unity project could integrate into Xcode with native iOS App. I can’t believe it is worked. How could they communicated with eachother…

Why did I find so much good news for Unity today…

But I think it is a low effective work to integrate a big engine into Xcode with ios. The real need is a revolution. totally change for iOS developer. That depend on Apple.

Unreal Engine still have it’s Killer features but it need a better iOS&MacOS conpatible.
