Still possible to deploy BP only direct to device?

OptimisticMonkey · February 27, 2019, 2:15am

Is it still possible to deploy a BP only porject to device on Windows? Seems to have been broken for me for a couple of engine versions now?

Error: ERROR: Stage Failed. Missing receipt ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\Binaries\IOS\Rockety3.target’. Check that this target has been built.

You may have to build the UE4 project with your IDE. Alternatively, build using UnrealBuildTool with the commandline:
UE4Game <Platform> <Configuration>

(Ironically seems to deploy fine on mac without using xcode)

[UPDATE] Looks like 4.22 gets closer:

Look if a folder like Intermediate/Source exist? Likely it contains source files and the Rockety3.target. If your project is not a code project, you should delete this folder to get rid of this ERROR.

OptimisticMonkey, Did you find a fix for this? I have the same issue…

SupremeSarah · April 29, 2020, 4:35pm

I have the same issue. I have a blueprint-only project and I have followed the tutorial many times now.
I have tired:

In my last attempt I created a new project with just the basic content in it and tried to launch on the iPad (which is connected to the Windows computer via USB). Still I am getting the same error message. i.e. SocketException.
Deleted and recreated all certificates from Apple’s Developer site. The provision and certificate are green so I don’t think this was ever an issue but I tried it just in case. I got the same error again
I’ve tried on another iPad Pro. Both devices are listed in the Devices section on Apple’s Developer site. Same error again.
Then I run IPhonePackager (both as user and as admin) and tried to “Install IPA to hardware” under “Advanced Tools”. No go.
In Iphonepackager I then tried “Advanced tools” -> “Other Deployment Tools”. In the new pop-up (where all connected devices should be shown) there is nothing. In the command prompt I get the error message "IPP ERROR: Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.

IPP ERROR: Enumerating devices failed"
6. I disabled all firewalls, etc and retried 4 and 5 with no change in the error messages.

At this point I’m completely at a loss as to what else to try. Has anyone had any luck with this? Or any other ideas on what to try? Initially I thought it was something from my project that was causing the issue. Now I created a new project with the 2 chairs and the table and tried to export that.

Any help or ideas are more than welcome.

Thank you.

First time posting here because this problem is 1) Seemingly impossible, and 2) Completely ridiculous. Why would it be such a massive headache to put a game made for phones onto a phone? I have the exact error message as above, “Unhandled Exception…” ending with, “PackagingResults: Error: Deployment failed! Unknown Error”. I did everything everyone else did, everything. If so many people have this problem, why is there no solution?

don’t you found a solution? I’m stuck at the same thing.

Looks like you’ve accidentally turned on remote building. I don’t recall what it is that causes this, but try removing the remove build values from the config file directly.

This issue appears to occur if you’ve installed iTunes through the Windows Store rather than as a standalone executable. It appears that the Deployment Server has a dependency on iTunes and fails to start correctly when the Windows Store version is installed.

To fix it:

From your windows Start Menu, find iTunes, right-click it and uninstall it.
Head over to the iTunes download page. Do not use the “Get it from Microsoft” link. Use the “Looking for other versions” link instead to download the installer and install it as a standalone application.

In my case, since the Unreal Editor was still running while I performed the install, as soon as the new iTunes installed itself, Windows Firewall opened a dialog box asking me whether I wanted to allow Deployment Server access.

iOS builds on the PC worked after that.

I ignored this comment originally thinking “theres no way it’s actually that finicky.” I spent multiple evenings looking for different answers. Then I just tried this and it worked. (Facepalm) Thank you.
