Can't get user's Oculus ID with dev builds in the headset
Hello there, Prior the last unity sdk update, we were able to get the Oculus ID of the current user when we were testing devlopment builds in the headset (without pushing the build on the dashboard). Now I can still get user's informations, like his username, but the ID is always the same, and this is the one that you can find in the API section of the app : "Your application specific user ID for debugging and testing." How are we suppose to test features like Voice Chat if the real user ID is not exposed anymore ? Are we supposed to push a new build on the dashboard every time ? Or am I misunderstanding something ? Thank you,
Problem with update v7
After automatically updating to v7 my games are not working: -the FOV is reduced -Only right control is visible by default -Left control is visible only when pressing a button, on release is back to reset position (0,0,0), not affected by tracking. i'm using Unity 2019.1. Apparently lost of devs are having issues, is there any way to revert the update? Regards

Software updates
V25 is terrible and I still don't have V26. Developers should be among the first to get new software updates. But the bigger problem is that the software update process is too slow. I understand (*) that phasing the distribution is important but it's truly awful right now. * I've written software entitlement/licensing/distribution systems for large downloads w/CDN integration.Developer documentation updates for the week of July 1st, 2024
