Hello,

 

I want to publish a PWA application.

I want to follow this documentation : https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/web/pwa-submit-app/

 

 

But i don't have the checkbox "This is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) 🤔

 

 

When i try to upload my APK

> ovr-platform-util upload-quest-build

 

I have an error :

ERROR: Validation identified the following errors:
Application is not configured as a progressive web application, but the AndroidManifest.xml contains the following PWA specific meta-data:
com.oculus.pwa.START_URL, com.oculus.pwa.SCOPE, com.oculus.pwa.NAME, com.oculus.pwa.APPID, com.oculus.pwa.SHORT_NAME, com.oculus.pwa.DESCRIPTION, com.oculus.pwa.LANG, com.oculus.pwa.BACKGROUND_COLOR, com.oculus.pwa.THEME_COLOR, com.oculus.pwa.DISPLAY, com.oculus.pwa.DEVELOPER, com.oculus.pwa.ICONS, com.oculus.pwa.CATEGORIES
Please see https://ocul.us/3uALYuK for more details on creating PWA applications, or remove these attributes and try again.

 

Thanks

    The PWA option didn't show for me until I selected "Quest (Store)" or "Quest (App Lab)".

    Hello! 

    I don't have the option for Quest (Store), and when I select Quest (App Lab), the option PWA is not there. 

     

    Maybe my account is too new? I created it yesterday.

     

    This is what I see.

    I'm not saying it's not happening, but in that screenshot you haven't selected AppLab yet. 😉

    Per this page:

    "We’re excited to announce that all developers will be able to distribute PWAs via App Lab in the coming months. We’ll share more on when and how you can submit a PWA to App Lab soon."

     

    Looks like they are not yet available to all developers. ☹️

      I saw that message, but I think it was somewhat confusing because it doesn't say any date at all.

      I will assume that is the case. 

       

      Thanks!

      I didn't quite understand, some have access to the button and others don't?
      Anyway, in my case, I tried everything and I can never declare my PWA

      Hi guys, any update on this? I'm facing the same issue here and the "This is a PWA" option is nowhere to be found ...

        I would like to know this as well.
        The support page: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/web/pwa-submit-app/
        mentions I should get in contact with my "Meta Quest Account owner" to get access to publishing PWAs.
        Who is that supposed to be?

        I am part of a verified organization and have admin privileges on the https://developer.oculus.com/ dashboard, but I can't find any option to enable this or contact somebody about it.

        Any new information on this? I'm dealing with the same issue. The PWA check option is not shown when I try to publish my PWA APK to Meta Quest Developer Hub.

        My account was created recently, and I used the admin verification for the time being.

        I would be grateful for any assistance.
