Missing package store manifest file while packaging

TheGlitcher · December 9, 2022, 1:12am

I just finished my first game and I wanted to package it for MacOS, but it gave me this error:

UATHelper: Packaging (Mac): ERROR: A package store manifest is required when staging to IoStore. Expected to find /Users/USER/Documents/Unreal Projects/WarehouseWreckage/Saved/Cooked/Mac/WarehouseWreckage/Metadata/packagestore.manifest. Ensure that cooking was successful.

I selected use project settings (shipping) and I packaged it. Here is the full log:

Did you find a solution for this issue ? I’m currently facing the same problem

I know this has been posted a long while ago, but for those who find this forum question later: I also had a similar issue to this just not too long ago, and I found that cooking the project before attempting to package helped eliminate these errors. But I cannot guarantee that this is indeed the solution to ensuring this issue doesn’t occur when packaging…

This is on Unreal Engine 5.1 btw!

Forgive me for my bad English firstly, It is not my native language.
Same problem happens to me, I notice the error mentioned ‘IoStore’, I try to click ‘Packaging Settings’ in same menu which I package the project. ‘Project Settings’ window opened and focusing on ‘Project - Packaging’, there is an option named ‘Use Io Store’ below. I disable it and package project again. It succeed.
I don’t know why the problem happens. I’m just sharing what I have done. I hope this could be helpful for you.
