Build configurations and packaging settings

The Package Project menu has some more options for configuring the package that are described as follows:

  • Zip Up Project: Compresses the project edit files into a ZIP file. This is useful for moving the project to another computer or for passing the project to someone else.
  • Build Configuration: Defines how the build will be done. In Blueprint-only projects, you have two options: Development and Shipping. Development builds contain information that is used in debugging to help you find errors. Shipping builds are cleaner as they do not have debug information and should be used to create the final version of the game that will be distributed.
  • Supported Platforms: In this option, we are informed which platforms will be supported by the project.
  • Packaging Settings: Displays the project packaging configuration options that can be modified. The next screenshot shows these options:

The Staging Directory property is used to define the folder where the packaged build will be stored. The For Distribution option is required when submitting a game to the App Store or Google Play Store. The Use Pak File option defines whether the project files will be gathered into a single .pak file or will be available individually.
