Hey MajorFailure,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have packaged on a Macbook Air for blueprint and c++. Both of these projects packaged without any errors, and were successful.

  • Would you please provide some additional information about what you’re doing with your project?
  • What exact version of the engine you’re on?
  • Have you ever built a project on Mac before?
  • How did you obtain the editor, was it through the Epic Games Launcher or through Github?
  • Could I please have your error as a .txt file?

Looking forward to hearing back from you, thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply , I am now able to package, for some reason I hadn’t the latest Xcode on this Mac.

So whilst packaging succeeds the packaged app will not run. Did you try running the projects you packaged to see if they started up Ok?!

I’m just packaging a default third person blueprint project with no changes, I’m on 4.8.3 from the Games Launcher. I have Full Rebuild checked in the Packaging options and am using a pack file (tried both).

Thanks

So I’ve found that there’s an app bundle for the project in the Saved/StagedBuilds/MacNoEditor/PKGTest/Binaries/Mac/PKGTest.app, if I double click on that the project runs fine.

So it looks like it’s not being assembled and copied to the staging directory correctly?

Did you see my latest posts?!

Thanks.

Hey,

I am able to package, install and run the third person template on an iOS Mac. Have you attempted to try this on 4.9.0 Preview 4? What about any other template, is this one the only one that causes trouble for you?

Thanks!

Hello,

I’m trying to package for Mac Desktop not iOS, all projects are doing the same here, the third person template was just the most simple example really.

I’ll try 4.9 Preview.

Thanks.

Well, 4.9.0 Preview 4 is even more broken.

I have just tested that 4.9 Preview 4 is packaging correctly for Mac. Could you please upload your as a .txt file?

Thank you!
