How to Launch App within Oculus Quest 2 using Meta Quest Developer Hub 3.2

Hi, I am using Unreal Engine 5.02 as engine, and I am using the VR Template from the engine. I can generate the apk file without any problem. I add the apk file from my computer to MQDH 3.2 and everything seems fine. The problem that I am facing is the Launch App option from the 3 dot is not available in MQDH. The only thing that I can do is uninstall. However, I already have another apk from a different project and the Launch App option it is available. Has anyone known how to solve this problem?

BTW, I checked to File Manager ---> Apps---> and tried to launch the app and it is not working. Same problem as described in my previous paragraph. I am connecting my Oculus Quest 2 using the link cable.

 

The image below shows that the other apk have the option to be Launched within the Quest 2.

Maybe not what you're after, and maybe it doesn't suit your workflow, but just in case it's useful:

I've just been using batch files:

To install:

installme.bat  (drag your apk onto this to install it)
```
adb install -r %1
adb shell am start -n com.thing.thing/com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity
pause
```

And to stop:

stopme.bat
```
adb shell am force-stop com.thing.thing
adb shell pm clear com.thing.thing
pause
```

Obvs change the default activity for Unreal; you can get this via e.g.
```
cd "C:\wherever\androidstudiosdk\build-tools\28.0.3"
c:
aapt dump xmltree %1 AndroidManifest.xml
pause
```
