Unreal Engine 4 is available for Win10 UWP app dev now

I’m repackaging again, it will be a moment.

Will this format work for Windows Store uploads?

Also, I noticed that the SCID isn’t being saved, as well as the two colors (something I mentioned in GitHub).

[EDIT]
Yes, the installer worked perfectly:

Good, looks like that’s working as expected then. The Store should accept this format.

I haven’t been able to repro your issue with those particular platform settings not being saved, but that process is a bit of a mess and some of the newer settings are definitely broken. Doing some more tinkering…

, did you install 10586: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive

Pierdek · May 20, 2017, 5:42pm

(10.0.15063.0) besides i’m using VS 2015

anonymous_user_537a337d · May 20, 2017, 5:50pm

Did you try the 10586 SDK?

anonymous_user_582995091 · May 20, 2017, 6:03pm

The combination of VS2015 and 15063 is not supported. I suspect you have an older Windows SDK installed alongside? It looks like what’s happening is that VS2015 is falling back to that old version and picking up a version of the d3d12 header that’s incompatible with the latest d3dx12.h.

To solve, you can either move to VS2017, or install a 3rd(!) version of the Windows SDK that’s new enough to contain the missing definitions but no newer than 14193 (which is the latest with VS2015 support).

Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 10.0.10586.212

You must uninstall the Windows Software Development Kit - Windows 10.0.10586.212 before you can install the latest version of the kit.

OK

Sounds like a plan, will try it ;))

Pierdek · May 20, 2017, 6:57pm

I have:
10.0.26624
10.0.15063.137
10.0.10586.212
which version exactly should I remove and install ?

anonymous_user_582995091 · May 20, 2017, 7:31pm

I’d suggest removing (and not replacing) 26624. Despite having the largest build number, it’s the oldest. And it’s possible that the out of order numbering is confusing the build system.

Pierdek · May 21, 2017, 10:00am

It seems the blank UWP github project finally compiled with my VS2015, i’ve installed 10.0.10586.212. Thanks.

anonymous_user_06244eb7 · June 5, 2017, 4:08pm

hi all, i’ve installed the last github ue4 with the UWP, than i have visual studio community 2017 and these platform versions:
10.0.10240.0
10.0.10586.0
10.0.14393.0
10.0.15063.0
but i can’t package anything, and with anything i mean that i can’t package win32, win64, UWP32 and UWP64.
Anyone have some ideas? I need to recompile the github UE4 with VS2015?

The build and automation tools have some extra dependencies in the UWP fork that are currently sourced from VS2015 (or the Windows 8 SDK, but that’s probably less relevant). I should update the paths to support pulling from VS2017 and/or the Windows 10 SDK, but in the meantime you can probably work around the problem by installing VS2015 but continuing to build/package using VS2017.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 5, 2017, 10:25pm

I’m back, now trying to make use of the Xbox Live Services. On the UWP page should I check:

Is Creators Program Title?

When exiting and restarting the UE Editor it appeared that my setting for it was lost.

I’m performing a UWP build and will upload it to the Store to see if the process works. Additionally, I have my sandbox setup, and if I understood correctly, I should be able to perform testing without the upload to the Store. I just need to start with the items that I would like to include in my project such as Social, Leaderboards, and Achievements.

Currently, I’m reviewing the documentation to save results to the Leaderboards. That appears to be the easiest place to start. The trick is how to tie in UWP libraries to access the Microsoft Parallel Programming Library, as shown at the bottom of this page: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/xbox/docs/xboxlive/data-platform/leaderboards/leaderboards

Or is there another set of API’s we should be using from UE4, C++ (unmanaged)?

Yes, you should check the ‘Is Creators Program Title’ box. Do you have commit f5362d5? That should have addressed some problems with newer settings persisting across editor sessions. I should also note that if you’re using this fork with the Creators Program you’re blazing a trail (and we appreciate it!)

For coding against Live features I’d recommend starting with the existing functionality that’s wrapped to the standard UE4 online interfaces, e.g. IOnlineLeaderboards. The MS docs are still great for building an understanding of Xbox Live concepts, but less useful for code in UE unless you find yourself needing to extend what’s already there.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 6, 2017, 1:45am

I just refreshed from the repo and rebuilding now. I’ve been working locally for the past 15 days so I’m not sure what level my version was at.
My upload to the Store worked flawlessly which was nice to see.
I should have known about the IOnlineLeaderboards Hopefully I’ll have something working by tomorrow.

Better yet, it would be nice to get my game published under UE UWP. So I appreciate all the help. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

anonymous_user_582995091 · June 7, 2017, 9:24pm

I haven’t yet pushed the change to pull the UWP UBT and UAT dependencies from the Windows SDK and/or VS2017, so there’s currently a requirement to have VS2015 installed (after which you can go back to using VS2017). From the look of things that’s what you’re missing. Proper fix should be in soon.
