PackagingResults:Error: Error Launch failed! Unknown Error

I’m trying to test my game on my Android device (Galaxy S6), but every time I try to deploy it, I get this error. I get the same result with the default first person project, so I’m thinking I don’t have my SDK setup properly. I have followed the quick start guide and searched online but haven’t had any luck. Is there something specific I should look at?

Hello -

Are you packaging from a Github version of the engine or from a Launcher version of the engine and are the projects C++ based or Blueprint Based?

Thank You

Hi ,
The project is blueprint based, and I believe it is the launcher version of the editor, as in I start the editor from the unreal launcher. Thanks for looking into this!

Would you mind taking a screenshot of your Packaging settings specifically the Android and Android SDK sections (feel free to redact any developer specific settings)?

Now that I look at it, there are a lot of blank fields… It looks like they have a default value if they aren’t assigned a specific one though…

Hello -

I am fairly certain that all you will need to do is input the directories into your Android SDK based on where your SDK is installed on your PC. Let me know if you are still having issues afterwards.

Thanks! Set everything to the C: directory and went to test, but I can’t get the unreal engine to detect my phone now! So frustrating! Phone had dev mode, USB debugging turned on. I have tried in MTP and PTP modes. adb detects the device. I have restarted my computer and phone. nothing… I’m pulling my hair out!

Hi -

Are you getting a Device ID when you run the command adb devices in the Command Line? If not let me know -

Yes I am. I started another question specific to this on this here:

I have also tried upgrading to 4.10 but that didn’t change anything…

Hey -

I answered your other question at the linked Answerhub post, but to clarify here as well, it looks like some Environment Variables need to be set, I have posted the link at your other question.

Thanks , that got the other problem solved! But now I’m back to the exact same old problem! Here is a picture of the Android SDK menu… Did I do it wrong or something? This is very frustrating, but I appreciate you helping me through it!

Hi -

Try setting your SDK API Level in the Android SDK section to matchndk and see if it will package for you.

13

YES!!! Finally worked! Thanks so much for helping with this!

I’m having this problem as well but for Windows… could you help? haha
