Hey there. I am currently using unreal engine 5.0.3. But in your tutorial you have said to use xcode 13.2.1 but I cannot use that as my mac os seqouia can only support the latest version of xcode. If I use the latest version xcode I cannot use unreal 5.0.3 because 5.0.3 is too old. How can I fix this issue. Can you guys please help me.
Hi Prasit,
Unfortunately none of the GameDev team own a mac - mainly because the majority of UE devs use Windows PCs. Generally the solution is to move to a newer version of Unreal. This would be recommended anyway as v5.0 of Unreal is emulated on newer macs - it is compiled for Intel CPUs and if you want to do C++ work, compilation for a single line change can take up to 30 minutes. At least, anyway, this is what other students have told me.
I believe 5.1 or later has Native support for the M1 or later CPUs and I would recommend 5.4 or 5.5 if you want XCode to work (not 5.6 as it is in preview and we don’t support that)
See here for C++ setup instructions and I believe there’s a section for XCode: Setting Up Your Development Environment for C++ in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.5 Documentation | Epic Developer Community
Ok should I use this for the set up instead of the videos on udemy?
I really couldn’t say. Like I said, I can’t help with mac issues other than the information I’ve provided. Sorry.
Okay instead when I use a windows can I use 5.0 unreal engine and get away with it?
Unreal Engine 5.0 is now over 3 years old. We recommend 5.4.4 or later as there are complications with supporting C++ on 5.2 or older, and we can get 5.3 working at a push. It is possible but the steps to set up are no longer valid.
