Meta XR Integration SDK on Unity Package Manager (Experimental)
Starting with v44, we will start publishing experimental releases of the Utilities package (“Oculus/VR”) via Unity Package Manager. It will be hosted on our custom scoped registry, and will come with...

First off, having the Oculus Utilities distributed through the PackageManager is much appreciated!
Here is some feedback after taking a first look:
- it seems the Interaction SDK ("Interaction" folder in the traditional Oculus Integration) is not yet available as a package? Same for the Platform SDK. Did I miss something, or are those not available yet as a package and is it planned to add these in the future?
- the samples are not distributed using the officially recommended way but are distributed as a separate package instead. Any specific reason for this?
- some assets like the ovr-platform-util are still being put under the Assets folder. I understand this is most likely a workaround due to Unity's Package Manager trying to prevent packages from downloading malicious executables, but I still think it would be nice to find a way here that doesn't clutter the assets folder. (Could ovr-platform-util be distributed as part of the Developer Hub instead?)
- even if still tagged as experimental, the fact that this option to install as a package exists should be noted more prominently in the documentation and possibly even in places like the Asset Store. I think most people don't know the utilities are available as a package, but I'm sure it would be useful to many already. I don't think an installer would be needed, just a small section on how to set up the custom registry.
