Unreal Engine 4.17 Released!

The 4.17.2 Hotfix states that it can now build against XCode 9, yet I still am getting the errors that I need Xcode 8.3.x and it defaults to Software shader compiling which is unusable and insanely slow. How do I enable Xcode 9 in this new hotfix? I don’t see Metal 2 as an option

…Xcode 9 issues…

One of our engineers shared a few quick notes with me to pass along.

• Xcode 9 is only supported via Perforce/GitHub builds, not the binary launcher build.
• There is no Metal 2 in 4.17.2. That is 4.18 and above.
• 4.17.2 Xcode 9 support is only meant to support ARKit and nothing else. None of the other new features exist in 4.17.2. They will exist in 4.18.
• And Onildera, your Xcode installation seems to be in someplace other than /Applications/Xcode which is likely the problem. This bug will be fixed in 4.18, but not 4.17.2.

I hope that helps.
