BullCowGame could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually (Mac)

Unreal Courses Ask
#1

Hi all,

I am a MacOS user and have trouble in compiling and Bull Cow Game.
I have checked the following 5 posts and none of them work for me (because most solutions are primarily proposed for Windows Machines):

The exact same question was asked by @DiveInsideTech in the first link but wasn’t addressed, so I’ll have to post it here again. Here’s the description (screenshot):

Please note:

  1. Mac users use Xcode, not VS, to compile the project.
  2. We don’t have access to error log, as we cannot even OPEN the project in Unreal Engine.

Thanks!

Sorry the original screenshot wasn’t clear, here’s the new one:

The logs are in ~/Library/Logs/Unreal Engine if I’m not mistaken.

Open Finder and do Cmd + Shift + G and enter that path inside quotes

Yes, there’re some log files, see below:

Or downgrade Xcode.

Try to verify your unreal engine through epic games launcher.
Go to Epic Games Launcher -> Unreal Engine -> Library (see tabs)
then click the arrow down and select verify. This solution works on me. I hope yours too!
