1.2.4. Oculus Quest / Quest 2

Oculus has increased demands on apps in the Quest store and only wants to release full VR games in the store. All apps created with the mobfish VR STUDIO can still be installed on the Quest via the “Android debug bridge (ADB)”. We describe here a somewhat easier way with the help of the Open Source tool “APK Viewer” only Windows, which also includes ADB

Installation via sideload (Windows)

1. download the latest release of the APK Viewer:” https://github.com/cdytoby/APKViewer/releases”:https://github.com/cdytoby/APKViewer/releases
2. unpack the ZIP to a folder of your choice
3. download the latest version of our Oculus Mobile app via the Run Tab
4. put your Oculus Quest into “developer mode”:https://docs.mobfish.studio/public/en/topic/oculus-mobile-devmode
5. start APKViewer.exe
6. drag and drop the downloaded APK into APK Viewer
7. connect Oculus Quest to PC via USB cable
8. when connecting to PC for the first time: pop up in your glasses: always allow PC access to Quest
9. press “Install APK” button for APK Viewer
10. a pop up “Success” appears if the installation is successful

If an error message appears, it may be that access to the headset has not been confirmed, please repeat steps 5 to 10. Another source of error maybe a previous installation. The next section explains how to uninstall a Sideload app.
