Unreal Engine 4 is available for Win10 UWP app dev now

ErnestoEASD · June 12, 2017, 9:44pm

I got Visual Studio setup for building/debugging the game I had to set it up first, but despite the debug build it didn’t work its the same thing.

Also I’m a bit confused with this two you listed can you explain a little bit more in depth how to do this please?:

do a one-time manual copy of content from Saved/Cooked/UWPxx/ to Binaries/UWPxx/AppX. This won’t help if you’re iterating on content, but will give you the fastest iteration times for deploy and launch if you’re working on C++ code.

The DLL’s looked like the 20170107 folder. Sometimes running the script doesn’t work.

Anyway, I completely deleted my UEUWP folder, re-downloaded the source from GitHub, changed the xsapiVersionUWP in the GetXboxLiveSDK.ps1 script. Now I’m rebuilding.

Assuming ThirdParty contains the 20170517 folder, I will delete all previous build information from my game folder, and rebuild with the changes. Hopefully that will work.

As for the triple checking, I’ve gone significantly past that, at least I think I have. Of course, maybe I’m looking at the wrong items.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 12, 2017, 11:25pm

I don’t think the build worked correctly? Am I supposed to run the GetXboxLiveSDK script manually?

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 12, 2017, 11:28pm

When I run the script manually I am getting an error:

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 12, 2017, 11:39pm

Would this be the correct statement then:



$xsapiVersionUwp = "2017.05.20170517.001"

Doing so I encountered no errors.

anonymous_user_582995091 · June 12, 2017, 11:46pm

Yes, looks like the formatting of the version on the actual downloaded package changed slightly. Thanks for working through this. With that change you should now be building against the latest SDK. Let us know if that changes anything at runtime.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 12:03am

Unfortunately my build failed:

Looking back through the build log, I do see some Xbox related errors:

There were more of them.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 12:14am

Does GetXboxLiveSDK.ps1 need to be performed before the build?

anonymous_user_582995091 · June 13, 2017, 12:40am

Yes, it needs to be run manually at the moment.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 12:42am

Yes, before the build. Correct?

Because it wasn’t done in that order.

anonymous_user_582995091 · June 13, 2017, 12:53am

Sorry, misunderstood. Also yes, before the build :). OnlineSubsystemLive has compile-time dependencies on the SDK content (via its WinMD). Dependencies that look very like the things your build output is complaining about :).

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 2:57am

Unfortunately I’m getting the same errors as above. The steps I took are as follows:

I deleted (again) my UEUWP source.
Downloaded the source from GitHub
Changed the xsapiVersionUWP in GetXboxLiveSDK script
Executed GetXBoxLiveSDK
Setup.bat
GenerateProjectFiles.bat
Built in Visual Studio
Deleted all build data from game folder
Opened game project using UEUWP
Set Project Settings - Description, and UWP
Packaged project for UWP64

Above errors encountered again.

Wxzuir · June 13, 2017, 4:35am

@

I installed Windows10 SDK 10586…
(I can see this SDK on the control panel and this is the only SDK I can see)
My Visual Studio version is 2015 Update 1
My commit is 713f1c0

But I met the same problem as @(#303)

What should I do to build it?
And if I get a new PC with VS2017 and the newest SDK(15063),would I be able to build it?

anonymous_user_582995091 · June 13, 2017, 5:45pm

elaborating on my cook comments: if you ran a cook for UWP it should have generated the cooked content in a folder named something like Saved/Cooked/UWP64 under your project’s (not the Engine) folder. If you were running a regular Windows desktop build in a Development configuration it would be able to read directly from that path, but UWP apps have restrictions on the folders they can access without explicit user permission. So you need to move the content into a location that the UWP app can access - which means somewhere inside the application package. When running from Visual Studio a virtual application package is laid out rooted in the folder Binaries/UWP64/AppX. For a C++ project this is relative to your project path; for a blueprint project this is relative to the engine folder. So if you copy from the cooked directory to that location then your content will be accessible. Does that help?
@anonymous_user_1267f45c - I’m running low on ideas. Did you republish your configuration just in case (kind of the equivalent of turning-it-off-then-on-again, but you never know)?
@Wxzuir - you should be able to stick with VS2015, but you might need to install the 14393 SDK. Looks like the D3D12 RHI has some dependencies on newer headers, and for UWP we’re pulling those headers from the Windows SDK (rather than the ThirdParty folder - makes it easier to maintain WACK compliance).

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 6:49pm

Yes, I’ve done it numerous times. I’ve checked and rechecked the five steps, and after pressing Test the portal reports success:

Also, I cannot package with the latest XSAPI SDK. Should I revert back then?

If so, can I just reset the version, run the script, and “Build” the engine/editor?

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 6:54pm

Btw, it appears that the Title ID is the last twelve hex characters of the SCID.

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 7:13pm

@ - can you confirm the following on the Project Description page:

Project ID: stays (GUID) as provided by UE4?
Project Name: as displayed on Dev Center Portal
Company Name: <yourName>
Company Distinguished Name: CN=<yourName>

There was a good amount of discussion regarding the above but I can’t remember right off the top of my head. So I’ll need to go back through my notes, and this thread.

Can you confirm the UWP Settings:

Service Config Id: as provided by the Dev Center portal
Title Id: the decimal Title Id converted to hex, leading zeros unnecessary
Is Creators Program Title: checked
Logo’s set

anonymous_user_537a337d · June 13, 2017, 7:54pm

After looking over my Project Settings (again), I noticed that the Company Distinguished Name was set to possibly a localized version. Additionally, after wiping the project clean, I inadvertently used RvBGames instead of the Store version, which has a numeric value prepended to it: <99999>RvBGames.

I reverted back to the previous version of the XSAPI (20170107), and now I’m repacking again using UWP64. Hopefully this will work.

Can the XSAPI calls work under the Debug build? They don’t work within the Editor.

ErnestoEASD · June 13, 2017, 8:06pm

No I don’t think this will work if you mean like to directly copy and paste the GlobalShaderCache to that location it wont work I even tried this but the UWP just removes it when it gets launched.

The GlobalShaderCache exists but it gets stored in another location and not on the one that its looking for, no clue whats happening here.
