USB camera access
Ever since the HDMI viewer application and more so, the new permissions model for accessing headset cameras, we have been unable to use any USB cameras on the headset. Are there any plans for re-implementing access to this? The USB devices show up, but they cannot be used within their respective applications. It has been frustrating to say the least not being able to use the hardware I own on the hardware I own. I've tried various UVC USB cameras and none of them work. I get asked which application I want to use when plugging in the device the first time and the application will open when plugging it in but the application never gets access to the device like it used to.
Unable to give permission for All files access
I am currently working on an application that uses a specific document on the users device to transfer information and records between itself and different simmilar applications made by my team (imagine Game A storing its highscores in a shared document so Game B can read those same highscores and incorporate them in Game B). This methodologie allready works on the Hololens 2 which i have also developed for so i assumed it would work on the Quest 3 aswell. After doing some research i discovered that my best bet would be to try to get All File Access letting me access a shared directory between my different games. I found some code online that should help me ask for All Files Permission Access, as that isnt natively supported by unity itself. using var buildVersion = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Build$VERSION"); using var buildCodes = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Build$VERSION_CODES"); //Check SDK version > 29 if (buildVersion.GetStatic<int>("SDK_INT") > buildCodes.GetStatic<int>("Q")) { using var environment = new AndroidJavaClass("android.os.Environment"); //сhecking if permission already exists if (!environment.CallStatic<bool>("isExternalStorageManager")) { using var settings = new AndroidJavaClass("android.provider.Settings"); using var uri = new AndroidJavaClass("android.net.Uri"); using var unityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer"); using var currentActivity = unityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity"); using var parsedUri = uri.CallStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("parse", $"package:{Application.identifier}"); using var intent = new AndroidJavaObject("android.content.Intent", settings.GetStatic<string>("ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION"), parsedUri); currentActivity.Call("startActivity", intent); return true; } } return false; However after trying to ask for permission i am presented with the following screen. I am not able to manipulate the grayed out checkbox with my fingers or controllers. Is there something i did wrong?
Change AndroidManifest.xml for AppLab submission.
I'm trying to get my app to be submitted into the AppLab, but I'm running into issues where no matter what I try, I always get those permissions active in my build: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED My app currently does not use any of those permissions, but I am currently using Oculus Interaction SDK (The old integration), so I have two options, to delete all the code that is tied to those permissions, or use another straighter (to the point) solution like modifying the manifest directly, I tried the following code using custom AndroidManifest.xml file checked on Player Settings: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.CompanyName.MyApp" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION" tools:node="remove" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGE" tools:node="remove" /> <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@mipmap/app_icon" android:allowBackup="false"> <activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:configChanges="locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|mcc|mnc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|touchscreen|uiMode" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.SkipPermissionsDialog" android:value="false" /> <meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.vr.application.mode" android:value="vr_only" /> <meta-data android:name="com.oculus.vr.focusaware" android:value="true"/> </application> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:version="1" android:required="true" /> </manifest> But it simply did not work, not matter what I tried. I also tried building directly on Android Studio, but it did not work either. I don't know why the custom manifest is not working, well, actually it works but specifically the record audio part. <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" tools:node="remove" /> The other permissions simply stay there. I hope that maybe some good developer can help me with this issue. Unity version: 2021.3.30f1, Using this packages: Thank you very much for your patience 😊
SecurityException when accessing Bluetooth API

Android Permission Request Screen Text Not Appearing
We are using a less common Android permission request (REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS) in order to support downloading multiple large 360 videos to the Quest 2 (total ~30GB). This permission request appears in a different UI to the standard permissions, and we are finding that it only appears correctly approx 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time the permission prompt background appears, but without the text or buttons. This is causing issues as without accepting this permission, our downloads will fail. Looks like this when text doesn't appear: Should look like this: Given the size of the download, the user will take the headset off whilst the download completes. We require this permission in order to prevent the device from entering doze or app standby and killing the app/download manager. There is no error or log message shown in logcat when the dialogue does not display correctly. We’ve attempted various methods of requesting this permission and it still only appears 50% of the time. It also seems to open the Oculus Dashboard menu, so the app can’t be interacted with until the Oculus button is pressed to close the dash. Ideally, we'd like it to appear in the standard permissions screen shown below, or to appear in the current UI but with the text showing every time. Any ideas?
Casting from Q2 to phone on secondary account?
My partner is the Admin/primary account on the Quest 2. He can connect his phone on the app and cast just fine, so I can watch him play from his phone. But if I want to play on my account, the secondary, he can’t watch me play. We can’t cast via my account on either of our phones. Both my phone and the oculus can find each other on Bluetooth but it may not fully connect. The 5-digit code to connect was found in the About tab on the admin account, but entering this code on my account on my phone is only intended to cast the oculus to his phone on his account. From what I gather from troubleshooting, only the admin account can cast. We would love to suggest to make a way for the admin to give permission to allow the secondary account to cast so players can take turns watching each other play and we can guide each other learning to use game features.
Problem with MediaProjection and permission dialog
Hi Im new to oculus development (Oculus Quest 2) and im trying simple app for making screenshots and screen recording. But im having a problem with permission to retrieve MediaProjectionApi I start activity for result, and the standard android dialog for permission shows but, but without allow/deny buttons, so im stuck. This is the dialog, sorry for the phone pic, but build in screenshot does not show this dialog. Found simmilar issue here https://github.com/rom1v/sndcpy/issues/75 but no solution either. My code for showing this dialog. This is in my MainActivity and the testMediaProjectionPermission method is call as onClickListener from a button. ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> resultLauncher = registerForActivityResult( new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(), new ActivityResultCallback<ActivityResult> () { @Override public void onActivityResult(ActivityResult result) { if(RESULT_OK == result.getResultCode()) { Log.d(TAG, "Media projection permission granted"); MediaProjectionManager mediaProjectionManager = (MediaProjectionManager) getSystemService(MEDIA_PROJECTION_SERVICE); MediaProjection mediaProjection = mediaProjectionManager.getMediaProjection(result.getResultCode(), result.getData()); Log.d(TAG, "Successfully retrieved mediPerojeciton="+mediaProjection); } } }); private void testMediaProjectionPermission(View view) { MediaProjectionManager mediaProjectionManager = (MediaProjectionManager) getSystemService(MEDIA_PROJECTION_SERVICE); resultLauncher.launch(mediaProjectionManager.createScreenCaptureIntent()); } Any advice would be appriciated. Any kind of workaround or another option to record screen other then the build in caster.
