Oculus Store - Getting an App on the Store / How to become an approved developer?

Hi all, 

 

I was hoping someone could help with a link or explanation of how you go about getting an App published onto the Oculus Store rather than just the lab? The FAQ section has a section about 'Store Submission FAQs' but it doesn't really tell you how.

 

The 'Create an App Page' is the closest I can find which makes it look like unless you are an 'Approved Oculus Quest Store developers' you wont have the option to create content for the Oculus Store? I suppose my question is have I understood this right, and if so, how do you become approved?

 

Many thanks

 

Phil

Please ignore my question. I don't know how long I had read stuff but 5 minutes after posting I realised I have missed the answer which was in the FAQ section for App Lab (https://developer.oculus.com/faqs#faq_403409100741269)

I'm still unsure, does they mean you submit an app on the app lab and if they think it match their quality requirements they add it to the store themself ?

Here's how to become an approved developer and start reaching players:

Becoming an Oculus Developer:

  1. Sign Up: Head to the Oculus developer dashboard: https://www.facebook.com/OculusDev/ and create a developer account.

  2. Explore Resources: The Oculus developer portal offers a wealth of resources, tutorials, and documentation to guide you through the app development process specifically for Oculus devices.

Getting Your App Approved:

  1. App Creation: Once you're familiar with the platform, create a new app in the developer dashboard.

  2. Content Guidelines: Review Oculus's App Content Guidelines to ensure your app meets their quality and safety standards. This is crucial for getting approved.

  3. Submission Process: The Oculus developer dashboard guides you through the app submission process, where you'll provide details, screenshots, and videos about your VR experience.

  4. Testing and Review: Be prepared for Oculus's testing and review process. They'll thoroughly assess your app for functionality, performance, and adherence to guidelines.
