Adding a test user account to Quest 3

Hi,

I'm following these intructions:
https://developers.meta.com/horizon/resources/test-users/

I have created test accounts in the dashboard (they worked with quest 2, but now I try to add them to a Quest 3 device).
But now I get stuck on point 10. "Add Account" inside the headset.
The problem is that I can only choose Facebook or Instagram accounts to add and the test user account is neither, they are Meta accounts.

I have also tried this:
- Login to companion app with test user account
- Pair app with factory reset headset (success)
That makes me see the test app in the library, but i cannot install it, it only says Purchased or Unavailable and install button is greyed out.

What am I missing here?

I have the same problem as you;
But you can use the Release Channels
Invite your developer account email, which can also be seen and installed in the library, which is inconvenient but can at least continue.

Hi, in the release channel I instead added the test user email and that made everything work.

It will be instantly confirmed.

It seems the only way to add test accounts at the moment is via MQDH, mentioned in this thread: https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/General-VR-MR-Development/Email-verification-sent-to-test-account/m-p/1253773
Meta needs to update their documentation to reflect this 😕
