Android SDK 12l causing crashing for development builds
Recently I've been trying to update my project's android api from 29 to 32, so it can comply with the new requirements for Quest 2.
After the update attempting to launch a non-distribution build causes the following crash during the initial splash screen:

Initially I thought this was down to lack of permissions. MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE was added in api 30 without which access to $Storage/obb, where non-distribution obbs are stored on device, would have been denied. However adding this to the extra permissions and ensuring it has been requested on game start has not fixed the issue. Below are the android packaging settings.
I also tried editing the automation script to have the obbs appear in the $storage/android/obb folder, while this did fix the initial crashing it lead to other side effects (such as no logs being recorded and instability) & ultimately feels like a step in the wrong direction.
Has there been anyone else run into this issue? If so did you find a solution?
Any suggestions or troubleshooting thoughts would be deeply appreciated.

Having the same issue myself, but had to park it to prioritize something else.
I don't remember if I attempted a distribution build, but my non-distribution builds were hitting an assert and failing to load the obb file also. Can you confirm that your distribution builds are working as expected and that it's just the development ones that have this issue?
Glad to hear it's not just effecting our project! On further inspection allowing distribution did not fix the issue, does appear to be a general issue with non-shipping builds.
We've found a temporary work around by editing the build scripts. The edits mentioned in the post made to AndroidPlatform.Automation to add "Android/" before the obb directory to the install bat files work for avoiding the crash. I figure this was not an issue before due to looser permissions in api 10 and earlier.The piece that was missed for re-enabling logging was found here , UEDeployAndroid.cs will disallow External files if you are not distribution, removing this check appears to allow logs and saves to occur in the correct places for non distribution builds.Curious which line in particular you had to change in order to avoid the crash? We are having the same issue on 4.27.
I see inside AndroidPlatform.Automation:
private const string TargetAndroidLocation = "obb/";
Is that the line where you changed to "Android/obb/"?
My attempts avoid the crash now, but get an infinite loading screen
Thanks!
Hello I fix 32 crashing with ue4.27?
I've experienced a similar issue on the Oculus 4.27 fork.
Used to quickly build test versions using the project launcher to check things on my Quest, but now when I do, it I wont get further than the splash screen.
The steps that caused this misery:
Target SDK 29->32
Extra Tags for UE4 GameActivity added: android:exported="true"
I really hope there's a solution for this issue as it's making my testing much more cumbersome. Cheers!
I was using the launcher version of 4.27 and was experiencing crash on launch (three white dots) with development and shipping builds. For some reason turning on "Package Game Data inside APK" prevented it from crashing.
Also, I possibly had a similar issue once with a different project where in Shipping/Distribution builds it kept crashing exactly after the 4th or 5th relaunch and I discovered that if I used the oculus build it did not crash on relaunch.
