The problem is something to do with the Splash Image (SplashActivity) where something is with the android:exported=“true”. When I untick the Launch Splash Image, the app is stuck on the game icon on the full screen, nothing else. Any help would be appreciated! I don’t have any more ideas what to do and what to try. ---

I’ve gone throught with Source code of UE 4.26.2. There are easy tutorials how to install it on your pc. Then I just added this line android:exported as per the comment above in the same file. Then, built and installed with USB Debugging without issues. Thank you for the help! ---

I’ve managed to get the app published on Play Console with API 33. I was missing the java compatibility in the Build gradle file. Now, I will go on to try and see if it works for SDK 34 as Google requires that. Thanks! ---

For more insight, add the android:exported=“true” using Android Studio. Copy this folder URL from your project. C:\YourProjectName\Intermediate\Android\APK\Gradle Open it on Android Studio Navigate to manifest.xml in the folder hierarchy.

yes it work as well , + billing library 6.0.0 //// but google play console recommendation says we must update abl to 6.0.1 at least or higher … 6.0.0 doesnt work any more … play console gives me eroor abl must be updated , i tried many ways … two weeks now passed…im still confused , 🤕 unreal engine developers must guide us through the process of updating this things like abl 7 and abl 6.2 or what ever , because when we open our project gradl file in android studio 4.0.0 , if we update the billing library to 7 or 6.0.1 the error apears in the gameactivity.java and the theplaygooglehelper , and many , because of in app purchase system is not configured well … some one can understand me right !!! thank you … ---

I’ve managed to get the app published on Google Play. I did build it with compiled version of UE 4.26.2 for API 34, unticked the AAB bundle creation, got the project opened in Android Studio (ProjectName\Intermediate\Android\APK\Gradle) and generated the bundle from there. I used the key I had from before for signing as well. Google Play accepted it without any issues and it’s working. Thanks for your help here, it did worked for me. ---

I made my Target SDK 34 under Android settings, and changed SDK API level to android-33 under Android SDK settings, this got unreal to package the game and got Google Play Console to accept the app. However, the game now crashes immediately on startup on device. Could this be the reason why? ---

Hello, I’ve been having the same issue with UE building. So, as I said in my last post. This is what I did: 1. Package the game with AAB unticked in UE, with just the armv7 and build it. 2. After successful apk package, untick the armv7 and tick arm64 in the build section of the settings in UE. 3. Open the project/Intermediate\Android\armv7(arm64)\gradle in Android Studio. Wait for it to sync and try to build it for API 34. It should work as I did couple of updates the same way. If not possible, message me as I seem to forget to check the forums. ---

I also have a similar problem, only the game does not install at all, it says that “the application version does not fit this android.” After some changes during installation, he writes that “the application is not installed because its package is not valid (for example, it is damaged)” I was looking for a similar problem, but I did not find it. When creating a project using the template provided by the engine, it was also written that the application was not suitable for this android, but it started, but the textures were not displayed correctly. I’ve been struggling with this for days… ---
