When i tried to sideload a game called breachers, side quest was saying I don't have developer mode enabled. At first i thought "That's weird, I've had dev mode since I got my quest and now it stops working?" after that i went into the app, tried to turn it on and sha boom the app gives me a red bar at the bottom saying "We're having problems loading this. Please try again" w h a t?? ok, ill try again, nothing, ok.. AGAIN still nothing. couldn't find anything or anybody having this same issue, is it just me and can i fix it?

I also have this issue and it is very frusterating.

It appears to be an issue with the Meta quest device itself. The oculus app, and meta quest developer tool for PC both cannot turn of dev mode for the oculus.

Tried everything possible, only solution is to create a new meta account 🤯 Please fix this soon !

does it work now cuz i am having the same promblem and if so how did you fix it

It was ok with another new account after having factory reset the headset and associated it with this new acccount. Have to switch between the two account. But for me, it’s not a solution. It can be ok temporarily….

I did the whole factory reset with a new account and still didn’t work, if anyone finds anything new or if it’s fixed plz update!
