As you guys might have also got the notice that [new apps must target sdk 33](https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk).

I had been banging my head since the past 6 hours playing with gradle versions, aapt2, etc to no avail.

Finally found a viable solution! 🙂 Steps:

**1. In The SDK Manager:**

Install API 33 (you can have others as well, but this is important):

 ![install api 33](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/8/5/785f20749b948d662aa9efc1d82aaa1016e5044e.png)

Install build tools 30.0.3 (don’t install any version higher than this, UE4 uses the latest installed version !):

 ![install build tools 30.0.3](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/5/0/050926811f60fc61fbfa96be0f3a21e06cc63799.png)

Install ndk 21.4.7075529:

 ![install ndk 21.4](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/5/1/e5160905299f77f53f40139448027484ddb79e0b.png)

install command line tools 11 (latest for now):

 ![install sdk command line tools latest - 11](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/d/3/5/d35e100ecce2b66bde9111f6afb882e8d9298745.png)

**2. In The Unreal Engine Settings:**

Make sure to set all 3 of these exactly the same. I am using jdk8 (aka 1.8) which comes default shipped with Android Studio 4.0.0. It is also recommended to use this exact version of studio in the official 4.27 docs. I have not test a higher java version than 8 so I wouldn’t recommend it:

 ![ue 4.27 sdk settings](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/b/a/c/bacc1baae0cc9447c775098a1640bb9a7de4fd7a.png)

**2. Modify an engine file:**

Edit WebViewControl.java in:

`[YOUR UNREAL ENGINE INSTALL DIRECTORY]\Engine\Build\Android\Java\src\com\epicgames\ue4\WebViewControl.java`

comment out (or remove) these 3 lines:

```auto
viewer.getSettings().setAppCacheMaxSize(1024*1024*8);   
viewer.getSettings().setAppCachePath("/data/data/com.your.package.appname/cache"‌​);    
viewer.getSettings().setAppCacheEnabled(true);

```

**3. last but not least**

Delete these folders:

```auto
C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\.gradle
[YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY]\DerivedDataCache
[YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY]\Intermediate
[YOUR_PROJECT_DIRECTORY]\Saved

```

Restart engine and build ! 😃

Just tested with Target Version 34, it works ! 😃

Keep everything the same (including _compile version 33_), just change the target version to 34.

_Note: It is recommended and advised that the compile version is not set lower than the target version. But I’m glad it works fine for this version on my project._

Make sure to also add:

> android:exported=“true”

to your GameActivity node like this:

 ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/f/f/b/ffbed39f5476909b4410af5313d038ed5164dc77.png)

Otherwise you might get this error while uploading to playstore:

`You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without 'android:exported' property set.`

You can also manually add this tag in the manifest through an editor like android studio after the build, useful in case a old plugin which you don’t have access to isn’t using this tag.

If this works, it would be amazing!!! im going to test this out over the next few days and get back to you. Should this work with engine version 4.26? Also, would the save files/storage permissions work? Thanks!

Haven’t tested with 4.26 but works perfect for 4.27.2.

Although I haven’t mentioned this in the post, but you might not want to have anything higher than **version 8.0** installed for **‘Android SDK Command line Tools’** since it was recently causing problems for me in Unreal Engine 5. This might not cause any issues on UE4 but just in case.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean by ‘files/storage permissions’. Are you talking about the `'MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'` manifest permission that is often required to deploy directly on android device without issues ? Then yes, this shouldn’t make any difference. Just try.

For those who set targetsdk to 34 and face this error (my UE version 4.26.1): [Android Gradle build error “AAPT2 aapt2-4.1.0-6503028-windows Daemon #0: Unexpected error during link, attempting to stop daemon.”](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67233807/android-gradle-build-error-aapt2-aapt2-4-1-0-6503028-windows-daemon-0-unexpec)

To link with sdk34, you actually need to compile with sdk 33 (Not sure if its a bug or not)

You should modify UEDeployAndroid.cs to make string CompileSDKVersion = “33”, either this hard coded way. Or make a new ini in Default Engine.ini [/Script/AndroidRuntimeSettings.AndroidRuntimeSettings] to set this a compile skd version, and read it in C# code.

I could packaged the APK-file according to your instructions. But now I have a problem to install this APK on my device 😅, neither via Batch-File install, nor manually from Device Storage. When I try to install any of packages, I receive these errors:

From the adb error, it seems like one or more of your activities/services or broadcast receivers declared in the manifest file are using intent filters **and** have not explicitly defined the tag `android:exported="true"`. Since you are on android 13, this could certainly be the issue.

Unfortunately the “android:exported” playstore error persists for my 4.27 project… Do you think i should edit some other parameter? I ve done all the steps you mention above… Maybe the grandle or cmake version plays some role? Which one did you use? You kept the old android studio? which version? I ve ran out of ideas… I didn’t have any luck for sdk 33 or 34…

You can try my Unreal 4.27.2 build which I updated all Android related stuff and you can use NDK 25 and SDK 32 33 34 etc.

Hello,

I can build up the app and supply it to Google Play Console without issues.

Tried testing on mobile phones through the internal testing. The app installs, but it crashes as soon as you tap to open.

This is the error log I am getting. It is probably something with the java version, but I’m on the JDK 1.8 as per all the tutorials and answers.  
The project is built with 4.26 and I cannot update to newer. I successfully built and published on AppStore for iOS.

Any ideas and help would be awesome. Thanks!

Error log from the phone, tried Android 13 and 14 on Xiaomi. On both, the version I published last year works fine without troubles.

If you use my Custom build , use the same requirement than 5.3 or 5.4 [Android Development Requirements for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.4 Documentation | Epic Developer Community](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/android-development-requirements-for-unreal-engine)

I struggled with this for more than a month.

In the end, this is what I did that helped. Only in this place, nowhere else.

My project uses old plugin version and cannot update to 4.27… but just seeing your build should do fine for SDK 34…

anyone know if these settings will still work on 5.4? I don’t want to change my build environment and lose the ability to build for 5.4

I tried everything. My project is 4.26 and the plugins are for 4.26  
The build for Android API 33 builds successfully, even Google Console accepts it. But, as soon as the app starts on the phone (Google Pixel 8 Pro) it crashes. It seems that the issue is with Java, but I am using JDK 1.8. Last year in November I built and packaged the project with the same settings and environment. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
