What a pain ! Can't package simple quest app

[GregoryDFS]

Hello, first I want to say, UE is horrible, nothing works, you need to follow several tutorials for just starting a new project when Unity does everything itself. That's the second time I try to switch to UE but once again I think I will turn back...

That said, I followed these guides -that shouldn't exist- line by line : 

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unreal/unreal-quick-start-guide-quest/

https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/how-to-set-up-android-sdk-and-ndk-for-your-unreal-engine-dev...

But when I try to package the project, it says that Android SDK is not installed properly, I click "continue" and it tries and fails to install the sdk he want. When I run the SetupAndroid.bat manualy I have no error, and success for each request.

Here is some logs:

It seems trying to install SDK r25b when I configured 29 everywhere, that very exasperating.

If someone can help me before I give up.

Thanks in advance

And it seems hard to get help...

Hey Gregory , i hope that you successed to solve your problem , if not , try to switch to another version of the Java Dev Kit , my project had the same issue and fixed it with this 🙂 

Buuuuuut- now i have just a SDK error , but everything worked fine yesterday.

so yeah, UE sucks with android

[GregoryDFS]

Yes, I tried to follow other tutorials and switched to UE 4, I've been able to build the apk, but it fails to launch on the quest, I will wait one more year to retry...

Actually you have to look into this on your output

 Will install 'Android SDK r25b'

Make sure u have installed NDK 25.1.8937393 using android sdk and select it in the unreal engine. 
This will get rid of this error
