iOS Packaging error on Mac

kerds78 · May 22, 2019, 10:43am

I’m packaging my project for iOS from my Mac, after failing to package from my Windows PC for over 2 weeks. My packaging attempts from my mac seem to fail sooner than from windows. I keep getting an UnrealBuildTool error, and when I go into the log file I can’t find any reference to an error with anywhere to go to fix it. This is a pure blueprint project with no C++ classes apart from a couple of plugins from GitHub. This is my error log:

I’d appreciate any help on this, as I am currently stumped and have no idea how to fix this. Thank you.

Things I’ve already tried:

Unticking and deleting everything to do with Android in my project settings
Deleting Binaries, Intermediate and Saved folders
Updating Xcode (unless there’s been an update in the last 2 days)

At a guess something about your blueprints are corrupted. I’d go through and recompile every blueprint and see if you can kick it into having an error, ESPECIALLY UMG blueprints. Try to compile in order of widgets that are embedded, back to standalone widgets. These are about the only things I’ve had fail like this.

Also, as a second step you should always find the build command in the log and run it in the command line yourself, as you’ll get more verbose output and often a lot more info about the error. You’ll need to navigate to where the UBT is and run it with the arguments from the log.

I can package for mac successfully so there doesn’t seem to be an issue with the blueprints, how would I go about running the build command in the command line? (Which arguments would I pass through?) Thanks for the help

Antidamage · May 23, 2019, 12:34pm

I’m going to suggest you do what all of us have to do at some point - make a new project and walk through the setup process from new project to packaged build (say, of the third person BP). Then go back to your game and go through each of the steps again.

If that fails, try moving your config folder, letting it make a new one, setting up the build stuff again and trying again. If that fixes it then your problem is a config setting. I had to do this recently as well.

kerds78 · May 23, 2019, 2:17pm

Ugh, had to do that a couple weeks ago for android, but I guess it’s my only option now. Thanks for the help

I test on my mac and found it is a UBT bug on mac,
please read this error line:
ActionThread.ActionDebugOutput: /bin/sh: /Users/Shared/EpicGames/UE_4.22/Engine/Intermediate/UnzippedFrameworks/FacebookAds/AdsUtil.embeddedframework.sh: No such file or directory you will notify that, the UE4 install on /Users/Shared/Epic Games/ path, not /Users/Shared/EpicGames, there’s a space missed!!!
to fix it you can just run the command on root account:
ln -s /Users/Shared/Epic\ Games/ /Users/Shared/EpicGames
after run this command, will create a soft link, then the build will success.

kerds78 · May 26, 2019, 12:39pm

This worked. Thank you so much

Hey Feiwu,

I think what you have described above is the issue I’m running into when packaging for IOS from my iMac. I’m getting the same “/bin/sh: … No such file or directory”. I’m pretty new to the engine and working things out behind the scenes, could you please give me a bit more of a detailed explanation of your answer

" to fix it you can just run the command on root account:
ln -s /Users/Shared/Epic\ Games/ /Users/Shared/EpicGames

Where am I running this? in the editor with my game running, in Xcode, terminal??? am I meant to rebuild the engine in Xcode??? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Andrew

kerds78 · June 3, 2019, 8:23pm

It worked for me when I ran the command in terminal with the editor closed

amartis111 · June 6, 2019, 6:08am

Legend,

Thank you soooo much, worked a treat!

Cheers
