New developers: Which build target for Oculus Go apps?

Yep, it seems like a "stupid" question, but really, it's hard to know the answer for a newbie like me.  I have an Oculus Go.  I created a developer account and a new app.  Then the question, "PC or Mobile?"  Well, I dunno.  What's the Go?  I guessed Mobile.  Result:  Welcome to your Samsung Gear VR app!  Yeah, no...  Riiight, Morty?

What's the deal?

  • Answered by a difficult manual search.  I see that in the developer > documentation section, the Mobile SDK section actually says Oculus Go.  Okie dokie.  Hey, Oculus team, please update every place you only mention Gear VR.  It might also help drive sales.  At the very least, it's accurate.  Thanks for listening!?

    Gear VR uses the identical SDK to Oculus Go, an app for one is an app for the other. Binary compatible.

    But I agree, it's confusing for them to use "Gear VR" on the Dashboard when they mean mobile in general.
