In the Inspector tab, under the Application ID:, paste your App ID in the row that matches your headset platform. For example, to enable features for current Meta VR devices, paste the App ID into Meta Quest/2/Pro [?].

Option 2: Add the App ID to your Unity project asset file

To add the App ID to the asset file in your Unity project:

Locate your project folder on your development machine.

In your project folder, navigate to the OculusPlatformSettings.asset file. Open it with a text editor.

On the line that starts with ovrMobileAppID:, paste your App ID. For example, if your App ID is 123456789, the edited line must be:

ovrMobileAppID: 123456789

Save changes to the file in your text editor.

Step 3: Generate a Keystore

Before uploading your app, you must generate a Keystore for your project. The Keystore secures cryptographic keys in a container and prevents them from device extraction.

Before generating a Keystore for your project, make sure you create an app manifest.

Follow the steps in the Unity App Manifests for setup and configuration information.

Use the following steps to create a new Keystore:

Navigate to File > Build Profiles, and select Meta Quest as the platform.

Navigate to Edit > Project Settings. Select Player from the Project Settings list. Player Settings

Select the Android, Meta Quest settings tab. Expand the Publishing Settings menu.

Click Keystore Manager....

In the Keystore Manager window, select Keystore... > Create New, and either Anywhere or In Dedicated Location if you want to specify where to save it.

After selecting a location for your keystore, create a password for the keystore.

Under New Key Values, add values for the Alias and Password fields, along with any other necessary information.

Click Add Key to create the keystore for your app.

When prompted to use the new keystore and key as your Project Keystore and Project Key, click Yes.

Step 4: Build the APK file

In Unity, navigate to File > Build Profiles, then select Meta Quest. Make sure the Development Build setting is unchecked.

Click Build and select a location to save it on your development machine.

Step 5: Upload the APK

Launch the Meta Quest Development Hub (MQDH) app.

Upload without MQDH

To upload using the command line instead of MQDH, see Upload build to release channel for instructions.

Select App distribution from the left sidebar.

Select the team and app name. Then, click Upload in the release channel that you want to use.

In the Upload APK from Your Computer field, click Upload and select the location of the APK on your development machine.

In the Upload Build dialog, select options that apply to your app and click Upload.

Confirm that the upload completed successfully by checking for the app information in the release channel you selected.

Step 6: Add user accounts to the users section of the release channel

Resources on adding users to release channels

To learn more about release channels and how to add users, see [Add users to a release channel](/resources/publish-release-channels-add-users/).

Make sure to use user email addresses that are linked to the users' Quest devices.

Follow these steps to grant users access by email invitation:

Select Users tab. Then, click Invite Users.

Add the email addresses of the users to invite them to access the release channel.

Click the checkbox to confirm that you have consent to add the listed emails to your selected release channel. Then click Send Invite to send an invite to all input email addresses.
