Hello,
I’m trying to build my Ue5.2.1 game for android from my windows pc. I have closely followed How to Set Up Android SDK and NDK For Your Unreal Engine Development Environment | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation documentation but so far no luck. I believe I have correctly installed Android Studio 4.0 with
Android API 32
Android SDK Build-Tools 29.0.3
Android SDK Command-line Tools 8.0
Then I have run the …/UE5.2/Engine/Extras/Android/SetupAndroid.bat which outputs “success”
I can see my android device plugged in using adb devices and when opening my game editor I can see my phone detected in the Project Launcher, which is great news.
But here is my Project Launcher output when running my “moto g power (2021) Android_ASTC” build:
ProjectLauncher.log (5.7 KB)

If anyone knows what this may indicate - please share! I’m not sure what to make of the System.IndexOutOfRangeException. I have found this recent thread where cazeoj has a similar looking error: UE5.2.1 Android/Quest 2 Doesn't Package?
Any help is appreciated!
