I’m using 5.5. The TDS Hero Plugin only goes to 5.4. He does have a video of how to download for 5.5 but the URL in the video doesn’t work for me. the externalfilesDir is checked. What do you mean by proper target SDK’s? Thanks!

Take the UPL from TDS hero plugin  
and use it in ur project and update the build.cs to use that UPL file
