I’ve been trying everything to solve the problems that keep coming up when packaging a project for Android on Unreal Engine 5.1, but now I’m facing this problem with Gradle, here is the last Unreal log lines for the error.

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

“Required array size too large” I know only from OutOfMemoryError when you try to create a new array that is larger than remaining heap space. If you would run Gradle with --stacktrace, you would see the full error and where it happens. Then you could adjust the according heap setting to be large enough for your use-case.

I put the --stacktrace and it gave this log, Do you mean this error?:
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): > java.lang.OutOfMemoryError (no error message)
I’m going to look how to increase Java heap space and let you know if that solves it

Wherever you gave --stacktrace, it was not to the Gradle build, because in your output you see it recommends to add --stacktrace, which it would not do if you have used it in the first place. :slight_smile:

But yeah, that is probable the one I meant.
The question is just where you need to increase the memory, there are various places in Gradle where you could do it, depending on where the error occurred, e.g. within the daemon or in a worker process. But I have no idea of Android or Unreal development, so I can just help generically.
