Unreal Engine 4 is available for Win10 UWP app dev now

[RichmarIII (Richard Marcoux III)]

Is there a way to have 2 users signed in with separate gamertags? I see these comments in UWPInputInterface.cpp, which leads me to believe that its not supported:

// TODO: handle multi-user scenario in UWP

Also, is there a way to switch your profile while in the game?

yes, that’s possible. It requires modifying the UnrealBuildTool source. What i’ve done to allow Multi-User Application Support is to modify ManifestGenerator.cs located in **Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Platform\UWP. **Specifically, you want to go inside the method GetProperties() and add:

//RICH: Added By Richard For Multi-User Applications.
XmlElement PackageSupportedUsers = AppxManifestXmlDocument.CreateElement("uap", "SupportedUsers", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/uap/windows10");
string SupportedUsers;
GameIni.GetString("/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings", "SupportedUsers", out SupportedUsers);
if (SupportedUsers.Length == 0)
    PackageSupportedUsers.InnerText = "single";
else
    PackageSupportedUsers.InnerText = SupportedUsers;
Properties.AppendChild(PackageSupportedUsers);

That code allows you to have

[/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings]
SupportedUsers=multiple

In any of your XXXGame.ini config files (eg DefaultGame.ini, UWPGame.ini, etc)
