Question

Meta Audio no longer in active development?

From the v85 release notes:
This will be the final version of the Meta XR Audio SDK. We are placing the SDK on feature freeze, meaning no further updates are planned.
We cannot guarantee compatibility with future versions of these engines/middleware.Bug reports will be acknowledged but fixes are not guaranteed.

Can someone clarify why it's no longer supported? I wanted to use it for my game but it seems it's a very risky choice to use it now as it can broke at any point in future and fixes or updates not guaranteed.

    Bump. Are there any devs on this forum who can clarify whats the future of meta audio going forward?

    It would indeed be helpful to get more information about this. Particularly so because we have found the SDK to be the best current offering out there, with many alternatives having already been abandoned some years ago, or having stability issues making them a poor choice. 

    It also seems to be quite a strange decision to not support an audio SDK when a significant part of VR immersion relies on proper audio. 

    Is there anything in the pipeline to replace this particular SDK at all?
