how do I get wireless adb pair device working in Quest 3 v83?

I've been tried variable ways and none of them work. Different intents I have tried either redirects me to horizon os app permission page or flat out does not work.

I have only been able to open the 'Allow wireless debugging on this network' window. Issue with this it does not have fixed port for ADB. What I want is to open the 'Developer' Setting window and enter the 'Pair device with pairing code' window. 

I have tired the following without good results:

  • Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS

  • Intent("android.settings.WIRELESS_DEBUGGING_SETTINGS")

  • Intent().setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.Settings$WirelessDebuggingActivity")

  • Intent().setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.SubSettings").putExtra(":settings:show_fragment", "com.android.settings.development.WirelessDebuggingFragment")

  • `Intent().setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.DevelopmentSettings")`

  • Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS)

Any suggestion or work around? I'm developing app in the recent Meta's Hackathon and this is a total road blocker for me.

    Quest 3 v83 no longer allows apps to open the Wireless ADB pairing screen by Intent.
    Meta locked Developer menus, so all old intents fail or redirect.
    Only the basic wireless-debug dialog is allowed.
    You must open the pairing screen manually:
    Settings → System → Developer → Wireless Debugging → Pair with pairing code.
    There is no workaround to open it programmatically.

      Thanks for your reply. I was afraid that was the case with Intent removed post v81.

      I don't have this window and I have looked within Meta Quest app and in Developer section of Meta. These are the only options I have in Quest:

    Me too. Why was the system menu removed so we can't get to this important functionality?
