I recently packaged my game for development on Android devices. The game packages successfully, yet when I install it on any of my devices, it opens the splash screen for about ten seconds then returns to the home screen. I have tested this on a Samsung S5 phone and a Dell Venus tablet. Both have the same results. Is this a known issue, or is it something I am doing wrong?
Also, when I do a launch to device, it goes to the splash screen, and never goes any further (never loads my game).
did you package your game for android Multi or All?
there is a bug for multi format android projects which contain sound files(ambient sounds).
try to package your project for a single texture format(ETC1, ETC2 or…).
It packages fine. I tried Android All and ETC1. Both package successfully. It is opening the app on the device that is the issue. Packages and installs fine, but when I open it, it loads the splash screen, and then closes a few seconds later.
TrayJ,
In order to better assist you, I’m going to need for you to provide me the logs from your mobile device.
Make sure that you highlight all of the logs, because they do not save unless they’re highlighted.
I tried to do this, but it doesn’t appear to be outputting any logs?
Actually, I semi-solved the issue. Is there an issue with nativizing blueprints for android? When I unchecked that option, and repackaged, the file opened properly.
You need to click on your device and then the logs should start popping up once you’ve plugged your device to your computer and opened the game.
So, I searched over and I found a bug already entered in. It’s a priority 2 - major bug in our system that’s on our to do list. UE-31600 states that projects fail to package for Android with nativized blueprint assets enabled.
So this issue has been reported. If you notice anything else wonky, please let me know and I’ll investigate further for you.
Thanks!
