Accessing Player's Oculus Username and Displaying it in-game.

[GamerReality]

Hello,

I'm developing a multiplayer VR game for Quest and Windows PCVR. Unity 2023.2.19, XR Plug-in is set to OpenXR, latest XR plugins, and Meta XR Platform SDK 68.0.0.

I've only pieced together loose information online to make this system for grabbing and displaying the player's Oculus/Meta/Account username, but I need help because it's not working. I'm going this route because I don't want to add moderation and check for unique usernames if Meta already has these systems. 

I made sure that the Meta XR Platform SDK was in my project which is the only Meta package I have: Meta XR Platform SDK | Integration | Unity Asset Store

It builds and runs fine, it authenticates successfully thanks to the instructions from here: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/ps-entitlement-check/

try
{
    Core.AsyncInitialize(appID); //Their docs had "Platform.Core.AsyncInitialize(appID), but their example only had ()"
    Entitlements.IsUserEntitledToApplication().OnComplete(EntitlementCallback);
}
catch(UnityException e)
{
    Debug.LogError("Platform failed to initialize due to exception.");
    Debug.LogException(e);
    // Immediately quit the application.
    UnityEngine.Application.Quit();
}

// Called when the Meta Horizon platform completes the async entitlement check request and a result is available.
void EntitlementCallback (Message msg)
{
    if (msg.IsError) // User failed entitlement check
    {
        // Implements a default behavior for an entitlement check failure -- log the failure and exit the app.
        Debug.LogError("You are NOT entitled to use this app.");
        UnityEngine.Application.Quit();
    }
    else // User passed entitlement check
    {
        // Log the succeeded entitlement check for debugging.
        Debug.Log("You are entitled to use this app.");
        
        // From https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Unity-VR-Development/How-do-i-access-oculus-username/td-p/889007
        Oculus.Platform.Users.GetLoggedInUser().OnComplete(GetLoggedInUserCallback);
    }
}

private void GetLoggedInUserCallback(Message msg) {
    if (!msg.IsError) {
        User user = msg.GetUser();
        Oculus_userName = user.OculusID;
        Oculus_displayName = user.DisplayName;

        PlayerUsernameWeWillSet = Oculus_displayName;
    }
    else
    {
        setDefaultPlayerNameInstead = true;
    }
}

But when I try to use PlayerUsernameWeWillSet, it's not null or empty because I have checks to set it to a generic player name instead. I know it can take a few seconds, so I have logic to rerun a coroutine every so often trying to see if we got the username but it's still not getting it. My PCVR version is working with a username I'm grabbing from a different source, it displays properly in a text field.

Maybe you see the problem, but if you don't you can help me know how to debug this and get a log after building it as an APK which I haven't tried yet.

Thank you.

This may be the problem of you having to upload your APK to the store, and then downloading it from the store

Forgot to mention authentication works, I've had it kick me if I sideload it but I publish it to a private alpha channel, download the update, and I'm authenticated in the game.

So you want to display the unique Oculus username? That would be the user.OculusID. If this is not the problem sorry for the misunderstanding. I would recommend Unity's android debug manual for debugging standalone builds.

You can use ADB from the cmd line
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-debugging-on-an-android-device.html

I prefer this tool as it logs straight to the Unity console.

Yes I tried putting those things into place, that's in my third code block in my discussion post. I'll put it again:

private void GetLoggedInUserCallback(Message msg) {
    if (!msg.IsError) {
        User user = msg.GetUser();
        Oculus_userName = user.OculusID;
        Oculus_displayName = user.DisplayName;

        PlayerUsernameWeWillSet = Oculus_displayName;
    }
    else
    {
        setDefaultPlayerNameInstead = true;
    }
}

This will give you the unique Oculus username. The display name is the user's first and last name if I recall correctly.

PlayerUsernameWeWillSet = user.OculusID;
