I’m attempting to build an Unreal Engine 5.4 Project on a Meta Quest 2 (Windows OS, Intel Iris Xe GPU) starting from the default VR template. While the ADB commands successfully install the app, the app is stuck on a black loading screen (three dots under UE logo). I attempted this for both “Development” and “DebugGame” under Android (ASTC) without success.
My project consists simply of the VR Template and MetaXR Plugin (Version 1.103.0).
For Platform - Android settings, I have target and minimum SDK versions of 32.
I have “Support Vulkan” checked. OpenGL ES 3.2 is not supported. Under Meta XR Plugin settings, I have “XR API” set to “Oculus OVRPlugin + OpenXR backend”
My computer does not meet minimum hardware specs for Quest Link (Intel Iris Xe Graphics) so I am trying to sideload the installation using these commands from the ASTC directory:
adb devices
adb uninstall com.YourCompany.[AppName]
adb install [AppName]-arm64.apk
adb push main.1.com.YourCompany.[AppName].obb /sdcard/Android/obb/com.YourCompany.[AppName]
On Android Studio SDK Manager I have the following installations:
I have been able to do this before with a VR Template, but I’m not sure what caused it to be fixed back then and I’m unable to replicate the same success.
I think my issue is similar to these two threads, but it doesn’t seem like the suggestions there seem to fix my situation. However, I do not have a Steam VR nor OpenXR Unreal plugin so not sure if that’s the issue although my build worked in the past without either.
- Oculus Quest 2 Packaging - No Errors, Infinite Loading Screen?
- UE5 Oculus Quest 2 launching app in shipping build loads forever
How do I get the installation to get past the infinite loading screen? I’m inexperienced with VR dev, so unfortunately I have no clue how to debug a situation like this.
