Unity XR Management plugin + Oculus Integration: what's the future?

This is very disappointing. I love the new XR Platform but it doesn't seem to be able to integrate the avatar and platform sdks. Might as well continue to use the OVR Plugin then

Yes I am currently quite confused about this as well. I am working on my first VR project and have basically gotten everything working in terms of gameplay. Now that I am considering what is need to actually put the game on the store, adding avatars, leaderboards, etc. everything seems to be pointing me towards the asset store integration package. 

Is it even possible at this point to launch a game on the Oculus if it is built using the XR management plugin? If not when can we expect that to be the case. Agree it is very disappointing. 

You can use the oculus integration asset along with the new XR plugin for hmd and controller tracking. From my understanding they both share the same base. Tbh though I use the integration only for the platform features, mainly the entitlement check and OVRManager event handling so I don't know about the features you are after. I don't think the XR management system in unity will ever include platform specific features but it still is amazing for development

I'm pretty new to this - from my understanding, the OVRManager is initialized by virtue of including the OVRCameraRig from the Oculus Integration Asset package from the Asset Store - but if you are using the XR plugin for HMD/Controller tracking, how do you initialize/use the OVRManager?

I'm struggeling with this too at the moment :(

I got it so far, that the Avatar SDK asset would use the correct tracking positions of my devices, but no controller or hand models would show up.

I'm also really confused about the rig itself. The new API requires the Tracked Pose Driver to get tracking going, yet the oculus assets function without it (are they bypassing the whole XR Plugin stuff? If yes, what's the point of it all?)

The keynote from last year, where all this new stuff was announced showed the XR Plugin, the regular Unity XR Rig with Tracked Pose Driver and abra cadabra, they suddenly hat controller models and all that stuff in their scene. How they integrated the Oculus platform assets with the XR Plugin was never addressed and I can't get it working right now.

Seems like yet another one of those """production ready""" APIs...

I'm using Rift controllers instead of hand tracking, but everything seems to be working great in Unity 2020.1 with the XR Plugin Management package in cooperation with the very new Oculus Integration package v18 from the asset store (web only): https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/oculus-integration-82022

Are you just attaching controller models or are you using the avatar sdk to get the mapping of joystick movement and button presses?

If yes, sad to see it not working in the LTS version, I think a alot of devs (myself included) won't touch anything post LTS with a pole stick after that glorious 2019.3 release...
