Hey Mr. Toasty, thanks for reaching out to us about this over the forums. We are sorry to hear you are having difficulties activating developer mode. First lets make sure you are registered as a developer! 

  1. Go to: https://developer.oculus.com/manage/organizations/create/
  2. Log in with your account (or set up an account). This can be a Meta, Facebook or Instagram account.
  3. If needed, enter a credit card or phone number. Click on Add next to the method you want to use. Once your account is verified, go back to the main developer page.
  4. Enter your developer organization’s name. If you are an app developer, enter your company’s name. If not, you can just type in whatever you want. Afterwards check the checkbox and click on Submit.
  5. Agree to the Non-disclouser agreement.
  6. Go to https://developer.oculus.com/manage/verify/ to verify your account. Here you need to either add a credit/debit card or enter the confirmation code you received to confirm your mobile number.
  7. You are now registered as a developer.

Thanks, I figured it out myself. I had to add a card to complete the verification. Unfortunately I wasted $1. This is not much, but in our country, meta is an extremist organization that cannot be paid. Waiting for the police at home xD

We're glad to hear it! The $1 charge was likely just a "ping" fee that most businesses will do to ensure the bank account is valid and will then be refunded, so you won't be missing it for long at all. We hope you enjoy the rest of your week. If there's ever anything else we can help out with or if you have any questions that we could answer, please feel free to reach out to us!
