Remote compiling requires a server name. Please specify one in the Remote Server Name Setting Field. Not packaging from Windows to IOS in last Unreal versions (4.17-4.21)

Hi,

The Unreal scene that works perfectly from Unreal 4.12 to 4.16 not working NOW with last versions of Unreal. I’m on Windows 10 64bit (dual Xeon, 64 gb RAM, dual Titan XP), with the same certificate and provision and I need to compile the project for IPad Pro 10.5. The App is in developing mode and packaged on one device. Itunes active and working.

I’m working on Windows without Mac (for now) and the project is only BP. I have read all about this error and disabled all the plug-ins inside and outside Unreal but wihtout uccess.
Unreal ask me “Remote compiling requires a server name. Please specify one in the Remote Server Name Setting Field.”

There was some changes about Unreal politics with Apple? Is it absolutely necessary now to have a Mac to compile for IPad in the last versions of Unreal as BP project only?

Thank you!

Hi,
I deleted graphics icon (restore it as default) and Unrel deploy all without problems with 4.19 version too!

Same here. My target platform is iPhoneX, iOS 11.3.

I get the following error in 4.19 (using win10): “remote compiling requires a server name” ,regardless of what Metal version I try to use tho. It’s a fresh mobile AR project with no changes to the project.
My certifications and provisions are all valid and iTunes is installed.

I’m getting the sane error and could not package my project for ios.

Hello ,

Does restoring your icons to default values (Project Settings → iOS) allow you to package?

6

which graphics icon ?

I got this problem with 18, i deleted the resoruses folder where the icons are stored. i can not compile if i use any custom icons

Hi, I have the same problem. I´m starting project from the scratch, So there is no loaded Icons, just the default ones, I dont use any third party plugins. Certifikats and mobile provision is valid. Still have the same “remote compiling requires a server name” issue. Any suggestions what to try? Thank you

I received an answer to my issue in another thread.
I was building a AR Template project and it actually requires a Mac to compile, just because it’s using the ARKit features.

If a project is not setup to use AR, then it compiles fine.

Hi, same problem here on 4.18.3.

The issue wasn’t present until I attempted to add custom icons and splash screens (.png). Even after reverting to default icons and splash screens I still encounter the issue, however closing the project, then deleting Saved, Intermediate, Build and Binaries folders will allow me to package (after reverting to default icons).

I use no other plugins and have been successfully packaging up until the point where I added custom icons as .png images. After this point the project appears broken in some way.

I was able to create a new project (FPS Template, No starter content, Mobile, Scalable) add my mobile provisions and package it immediately.

Summary of my issue

  • Packaging issue occurs after setting custom icon
  • Reverting to default icons, closing project and removing Saved, Intermediate, Build and Binaries folders seems to restore ability to package temporarily
  • Issue arises again on Project load.
  • Does not occur on a completely new project.

Question: Does anyone else have anything odd happening with the Project Settings > iOS > Marketing Image. in all projects (including blank / empty) I have a red error highlight on this field (see pic) and cannot revert this to default (Error message is "Could not overwrite image file).

Yes, I am also facing same problem. Simple AR Template refusing to deploy from Windows PC to iPhone: “remote compiling requires a server name” if everyone is running into the same road block what is the common solution?

Currently with ARKit you will need a Mac with Xcode for remote compiling

14

1-make sure your project fully blueprint, no c++.
2-disable all third party plugins
3-leave all default enabled plugins to default
4-if you use Crypto disable it
uncheck any encrypt marks in Project Settings → Crypto( clear encryption and signings keys), uncheck Enable Pak Signing.
5-make sure your cert and provision (valid)
6-uncheck Enable Remote Shader Compile in Project setting → IOS
7-all icons in Project setting → IOS should be the default icons,
you can hack the engine by go to …\Engine\Build\IOS\Resource\Graphics\ first make a backup of this folder then rename all your icons to the same names in …\Engine\Build\IOS\Resource\Graphics\ and replace the default engine icons with your icons(they should be the same name and the same size) then go back to engine and go to Project setting → IOS → icons and click the little yellow arrow for all icons.

if you follow this infos you will be able to package for IOS from computer in shipping and distribution mode to app store.

Have you already figured it out?

Finally I find out.
In Project Settings>>Pakaging,look right.
Under Blueprints, set Blueprint Nativization Method into Disabled.

If you still can’t launch on iOS, and Checked all other answer, TRY THIS:

Under Blueprints, set Blueprint Nativization Method into Disabled.
