Oculus Go: Cannot launch app - 'Failed to sendLaunchIntent'

[mirabundus]

Hi all,

I'm having issues launching the app from the alpha channel. I've uploaded the app with all the recommened settings for AndroidManifest but keep getting the following in the logs:

08-31 12:44:50.964: D/[OAR] PanelAppConfigurationUtil(1553): Retrieving panel configuration for com.astonishing -

The command `adb shell dumpsys package  com.astonishing` shows the following:

The error is coming from the following in the ovr sdk (VrActivity):

Intent launchIntent = activity.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);

if (launchIntent == null) {
    Log.d(TAG, "sendLaunchIntent: null destination activity");
    return;
}

Anyone had this before? Must admit it has me stumped ....

Thanks!

No luck from this side still - I've been loading it via adb to test - it seems I can launch it fine using the adb tools, just not from the oculus launcher - same issue as above. Also, would it be possible to identify the package using the speech API? I can't set the latest build to Go in the console again due to a reference to the speech API and I need to remove it

Found the speech lib - it was related to GearVRF - so have removed that.

Still no joy though:

The version in the store launches AOK from adb, but just flashes when I use the alpha channel release:

adb shell am start -n com.astonishing/.vr.VRActivity
Starting: Intent { cmp=com.astonishing/.vr.VRActivity }

[mirabundus]

And it's fixed: I had stupidly not put the android.intent.category.INFO into an action and not a category. It should be:

<intent-filter>

    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO" />
</intent-filter>
