Bluetooth Activation in Oculus Quest (Unity)

I'm developing software to Oculus Quest. I need to connect a arduino board to my Quest via bluetooth.
I tried to use the asset "Arduino Bluetooth Plugin" from Unity Asset Store, but my oculus quest bluetooth seems not be enabled.

What is the way to enabled Oculus Quest bluetooth and scan/connect another devices?

Thank you!

For me bluetooth works using this plugin

I think you are missing some manifest entries. Try adding these:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.bluetooth_le" android:required="false"/>

Hi, 

Recently got that to connect using the StartingExample, but the app didn't find the BLE service on the ESP32 ("Error during initialize: Service not found for Write") although it was connected to that ESP32. 

 

Have tried the same app on an Android phone and thankfully it functions properly on the phone. Main goal with that is to get it functioning on Oculus Quest right now though. 

 

Thanks in advance for recommendations on how to make that function properly!
