Unity Quest Build not loading (related to AndroidManifest.xml)

Hello, I've been configuring Unity and a new project for the quest.  I've noticed that if I don't Create a Store-compatible AndroidManifest.xml, the build loads and runs.  However, once I create it, my build just hangs with the Unity loading default screen even though the build is successful.  Removing it, allows my build to run on the Quest.  Am I not supposed to generate an AndroidManifest.xml unless/until I deploy to the store? 

I am hoping this will help me solve my root problem with my project seemingly having no Antialiasing whatsoever, even though I have it configured correctly to 4x AA under Rendering for android in the appropriate quality setting.

Thanks for your help!

      Okay, so this explains a bit more:

      DeploymentOperationFailedException: No activity in the manifest with action MAIN and category LAUNCHER. Try launching the application manually on the device.

      There shouldn't be a reason that I need to manually modify the AndroidManifest file, so what could be the cause of this error?

      My manfiests:
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
      <manifest xmlns:android="schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:installLocation="auto">
        <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@mipmap/app_icon" android:allowBackup="false">
          <activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:configChanges="locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|mcc|mnc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|touchscreen|uiMode" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity" android:excludeFromRecents="true">
            <intent-filter>
              <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO" />
            </intent-filter>
            <meta-data android:name="com.oculus.vr.focusaware" android:value="true" />
          </activity>
          <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="false" />
          <meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.vr.application.mode" android:value="vr_only" />
        </application>
        <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:version="1" android:required="true" />
      </manifest>

      It worked again after modifying the manifest to this::
      1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
      2. <manifest xmlns:android="schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      3.     android:installLocation="auto">
      4.     <application
      5.         android:label="@string/app_name"
      6.         android:icon="@mipmap/app_icon">
      7.         <activity
      8.             android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
      9.             android:configChanges="locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|mcc|mnc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|touchscreen|uiMode"
      10.             android:launchMode="singleTask"
      11.             android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity"
      12.             android:excludeFromRecents="true">
      13.             <intent-filter>
      14.                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
      15.                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
      16.             </intent-filter>
      17.         </activity>
      18.         <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="false" />
      19.         <meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.vr.application.mode" android:value="vr_only"/>
      20.     </application>
      21. </manifest>
