On iOS 8, if you use UMeta on Enums, the text is ignored when doing Enum To String.

Howdy ,

Would you be able to attach your Dxdiag and your project log files to this post? Also, is there a step by step repro so that I can recreate the issue on my end? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day!

I have just ran a quick test using this setup:

 ![19306-enum.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/6/2/2620c2070b5e7e38cb98c668b9361ea487549f5a.png)

I was able to see the text on the print string text on both the 4.5.1 release of UE4 and a newer build of the engine. What version of UE4 would you be using?

I’m using 4.5.0 source but the issue only occurs when you package for iOS and open the app on an iOS device. In that case instead of printing the UMETA display name it will just print the normal enum name. I defined the enum in C++

Would you be able to clarify what you are entering in the UENUM, including the UMETA? Any additional information on how i may be able to set this up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

So say you got this: `  
namespace ETestEnum  
{  
enum Type  
{  
E\_Test UMETA(DisplayName=“Dog”)  
};  
}

`

If you use this in blue prints and print the enum it will print “dog” if you package on ios and open on iPhone it will print “E\_Test”

Which iOS device would you be using to test this issue?

Howdy ,
