hi all, this is a very newbie question and maybe stupid lol…
Is it possible to create a gui in xcode that can interact with an unreal game? I don’t know objective c or c++.
Not impossible, but it is best to use UMG (build in the UE4).
Thanks, i though as much. I ask because we have to work with ios programmers and i want to get an idea what they can do. I would imagine the best option would be to link ue4 app to be launched by other ios app and back etc.
You’d need to modify the iOS application layer to expose a way to inject custom iOS UI on top of the surface we render the UE4 scene to. You will need ObjectiveC and C++ knowledge to do this. Definitely not impossible, but you’ll end up giving future you the sads if you decide later to port it to Android.
Runtime\Core\Private\IOS\IOSAppDelegate.cpp, around line 488 is an example of us adding the UIImageView on top of UE4 to continue showing the slashscreen until everything is loaded. You would need to expose enough bits for your team to do the same.
