Question, can we release to the Oculus/Meta store if we just let the user connect to the BLE device via the native BLE Menu in OS and then have our App check to see if any of the connected device match one we are looking for? In that way all we need ...

If you are talking about previewing VR in editor with the Quest 2 you have to enable the Link when it asks you to on first connect, then you can do the VR preview in Editor. Might have to re-launch editor once Quest 2 Link with PC is done.

You an use Touch instead of press for now. Only workaround I've found. 

What's the difference? Quick start guide says just download from Epics launcher.Isn't it enough to use 4.26 from Epic Launcher then to use source from Oculus github?
