Problem with check_submission

I am trying to check .exe and .apk of an app that I've been working on before submitting it, and I am using the check_submission.exe command.
I've got the correct paths for aapt and openssl configured, and I am getting the following error when I run check_submission.exe filename.apk/exe

FATAL: Can't find or execute nm 'nm'.


What could be the problem here?

    nm is a Unix command that will usually be part of your dev environment.

    It may not come with Windows, but may come with cygwin or similar Unix shell.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    It does seem odd that check_submission.exe is asking for a Unix command, given that it is provided as a Windows command line tool from Oculus.

    The Mac one runs without any issues (since OSX is BSD), but the Windows one is asking for a Unix command!

    So after a lot of research and trial and error, it seems that check_submissions.exe requires Android NDK. The version downloaded from Android Studio doesn't include nm.exe

    You need to download the windows version from http://developer.android.com/ndk/downlo ... l#download, expand it, then add an environment variable for the path to nm.exe in the expanded folder.

    Good luck!
