RunUAT ERROR: AutomationTool was unable to run successfully

AbhimanyuAryan · February 18, 2017, 7:56am

I downloaded the sdks and kept them my preferred locations. Following natan’s answer here https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/499608/fatal-error-mspanlist-insert-cant-install-android.html

I have also set PATH variables both .bash_profile(& .zshrc just to be sure)

~
⇨ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_121.jdk/Contents/Home

~
⇨ echo $ANDROID_HOME
/Users/abhimanyuaryan/.rubymotion-android/sdk

~
⇨ echo $NDKROOT
/Users/abhimanyuaryan/.rubymotion-android/ndk

~
⇨ echo $ANT_HOME
/Users/abhimanyuaryan/Cpp/.apache-ant

But I still get this packaging error. Not sure why…I use Unity3D & it’s so simple in Unity’s case. I am not using CodeWorks because no version works…There are random Manifests errors…Tried to fix them but still no success. So I followed this manual approach

Have you tried following this guide yet?

Because you are going about this an awfully complicated way.

If you are using windows, I imagine following the same steps will work. I’d like input on that to be honest.

I have also used Unity and yes it was very simple in that case. It is also simple with unreal engine, you are just not installing things correctly that’s all

AbhimanyuAryan · February 18, 2017, 8:27am

I have already followed your guide. I still get those manifest errors. That is why I followed Natan’s way

Also you have mentioned in that link “Install Codeworks provided by UNREAL Engine”. I found it on NVIDIA’s site. I don’t see Unreal provide that

AbhimanyuAryan · February 18, 2017, 8:28am

They have only provided links to Java 6 and Java7

Your error is here:

Directory '/Users/abhimanyuaryan/.rubymotion-android/sdk/extras' not found.

Run the program here: sdk/tools/android. It will open a little windows where you can download the Android SDKs, ISOs, build tools, etc… At the very bottom there is a section called “Extras”. That is the thing you are missing. Download everything in that section, then try building again. That will solve your issue.

anonymous_user_631763f2 · February 18, 2017, 4:35pm

You only need NVIDIA’s toolchain if you are targeting an Android phone with NVIDIA’s Tegra stuff.

AbhimanyuAryan · February 19, 2017, 7:12am

That fixed the issue. Now able to run the game on android. Thanks
