Description

Blueprint Projects can't make APK without compiled .so Error when packaging for Android with any Plugin Disabled. Also seeing Gradle errors if SteamVR plugin is disabled.

Setting min version to 14 or enabling bPackageDataInsideApk causes no change

Tested with Pixel XL (8.0)

Forums: https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/android-development/1519174-4-20-2-can-t-make-apk-without-compiled-so-for-all-4-20-projects

Also failed to build in Main @ CL 4329255

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new 4.20 Blueprint Project. (Optionally selecting Mobile/Scalable settings)
  2. Save map, set to startup map in project settings
  3. Connect an Android device and launch onto device to verify functionality
  4. Disable a plugin and restart editor (I disabled Paper2D in my 4.20 test)
  5. Attempt to launch on device again

Result: 

LogDirectoryWatcher: Warning: Failed to begin reading directory changes for ../../../../../../Projects/AJ_GearVRso/Plugins/. Error: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x00000002)
