Android app not showing up when Unity project contains 'Oculus' folder

Hello, after developing a VR app in Oculus Quest and I repurpose the app to run on Android phone instead, while the Oculus Integration is still inside Unity directory (Oculus folder), no matter what I export and modify the Android Manifest file (intent.category.DEFAULT/INFO/LAUNCHER), the app doesn't show up in application list (App Drawer) in my android phone/tablet. In the end I have to remove the entire Oculus folder and magically it appears again. So, my question is, how to have the app icon shows up and I don't have to remove Oculus Integration folder. I believe there is a parameter somewhere that hide my app that was triggered automatically while Oculus folder is still inside Unity project directory.

Thanks!

    Hi, after long digging in Oculus package code I found this - OVRGraddleGeneration.cs Line 245 - Comment this line: OVRManifestPreprocessor.PatchAndroidManifest(file, enableSecurity: patchedSecurityConfig);
    Should work. Just remember to uncomment it after apk build.
