Issue with APK-to-APK Launch on Meta Quest — Unexpected Return to Lobby

Hello!

I'm sorry you're experiencing this.

Can you submit a bug report in the MQDH or to our Feedback Center?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have the exact same problem with my apps when I try to launch one from within the another (with the intent). My setup is similar, I have them installed as "Unknown sources", my OS version is the last one (v83) and my devices are Quest 3.
I'm sure the apps can launch without any problem because I can do it manually when I launch them via the "Unknown sources" list.

However in some cases, when I try to launch APK to APK with intent, the first app closes and the second never launches (I also stay in the immersive home). I had this feature working in previous updates (probably when the devices were on v78 or v79) but it seems that recent updates (from v81) result in more failings.

VTM_Digital​ Did you manage to resolve your issue? If not, did you get more info on the matter, maybe from your support ticket?

Thanks in advance!

In case someone encounters the same problem, here is how I could resolve this on my side.
The problem is that my launcher APK (first app) was closing too soon after launching the second app. Sometimes it could manage to launch but it would also fail (I could not detect in which cases exactly).
The trick was to let my Kotlin code handling both launch of next app and closing of current one (initially I let C# code handled the quitting). I still find it weird that the bug appeared once the OS update v81 arrived but maybe something in the update changed how the apps were closing (with the new Home environment)? But maybe it is completely unrelated.
In any case, I hope it can help!
