Custom Android Manifest doesn't allow game to open

[GamerReality]

Hello,

I was trying to set up a Custom Manifest for my game in order to enable dual-core CPU mode and prefer CPU performance over GPU performance in my busy physics multiplayer game. (Boosting CPU and GPU Levels | Meta Horizon OS Developers)

I try to keep the number of Oculus/Meta packages in my scene to a minimum because I'm building with OpenXR and plan to launch on Steam, so I used this updated documentation page to get me started with a well-written manifest. (Android Manifest Settings | Meta Horizon OS Developers)

So here's what I ended up with. Building the game works, but when I put it on the headset, it fails to launch every time. I've had this problem the last time I tried using a custom Android manifest. What do I do?

I have the same problem except when I disalbe custom manifest I see the splash screen at least and then nothing anymore. just hanging there.
I tried deploying the oculusSample projects named Unity-StaterSamples with unity 6 same issue is happening when deployed on quest 2. Playmode works fine for me over link though.
