Deploy to Hololens Device/Emulator for VS2019
Version for VS2022 is here.
Visual Studio Prerequisites
Install the following components into your VS:
- C++ (v142) Universal Windows Platform tools
- USB Device Connectivity
Usage
- Install Unreal Engine from source. If you have never accessed Unreal Engine's source code before, instructions for joining the Epic Games organization on GitHub can be found here.
- Apply this Deploy to the Device PR into your UE engine sources. Without this PR you won't be able to package game for running on the device.
- Generate and open VS solution for your project.
- Compile the Unreal editor in Development_Editor configuration.
- Select a Debug/DebugGame/Development/Shipping/Test solution configuration, the Hololens solution platform and the Device debugger type in Microsoft Visual Studio
- Press F5 and enjoy.
Known problem
The extension starts with a small lag (20 seconds or so on), so if you were too quick pressing F5 after opening the VS solution, it will throw an error about wrong manifests.
