Error Cannot Compile. Try rebuilding from source manually

#1

I am quite frustrated with this annoying error for the past two days, I tried posting in the udemy Q&A and have got no response, tried googling solutions and nothing seems to be working!

I cant open any C++ project with unreal. None of the bull and cow assets or my own project.
Here is what the error message says:

#2

Downgrade to Xcode 11. Xcode 12 is not supported by Unreal.

P.S. This might be fixed in 4.26 as I’ve seen that this is fixed in the master branch but not the current 4.26 branch so maybe in a later preview or final release.

#3

@DanM I tried Xcode 11 but it didn’t work either… I’m going to try upgrading Unreal to 4.25.3 and trying again

#4

Judging by your comment on Udemy, that worked?

#5

Yes! It’s working just fine after I got XCode 11 + Unreal 4.25.3. Thanks for the help.
