App Lab - Quest 1 Support Required?
Hi, I can't find anything in the VCR requirements on the Oculus website about support for Quest 1 being a requirement. However, I know I've read more than a few times that apps are getting rejected in App Lab due to Quest 1 support. Is this still in fact a requirement?
If so, do you know if we can include a separate APK for the Quest 2 and Quest 1?
Thanks in advance

Hey there,
I'm aware this is a bit of an old question, but I'll answer it in case it helps future readers.
I had a look at the `App Policies` page and found the following:
We strongly advise that all developers ensure their app is compatible and functional across all Meta devices in order to provide the best possible experience for their users. This allows users to fully utilize and enjoy their purchases.
However, if you choose to end support for your application on one or more Meta devices, in such a way that users of your app will lose access to its content, or may no longer use essential services that it provides, then you must give your users a minimum of 180 days’ prior written notice.
This seems to imply that developers are allowed to support a variety of Oculus devices, and at some point drop support for one of them, even if it's not advised. Based on that, I can't help but assume you are allowed to support only a specific number of devices only, including support the Quest 2 and not the Quest 1.
However make sure you've indicated that in the app's metadata. When developing a native project, you can do that by adding/altering the following line in your `AndroidManifest.xml`:
<meta-data android:name="com.oculus.supportedDevices" android:value="quest2" />This way when you upload your project, it will be automatically marked as only supporting the Quest 2.
If you are using a game engine, I'm not sure what the process is like, but hopefully the method above can help guide you to the right direction.
