DllNotFoundException: ovrplatformloader Oculus Go

I am trying to build and run the social starter on the Oculus Go, but the sphere is always black.  When I checked by log I see...

I've removed all the oculus assets and re-imported the integration package and an still getting the same error.  I can see the libovrplatformloader in oculus/platform/plugins/android32/ and 'anyplatform' is selected for the plugin.

I'm using Unity 2018.1.0f2 and SDK 1.27.0.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Well, I think I got rid of the DLL error by deleting the Assets/Oculus/Platform directory supplied by the intergrated package and downloading the platform package separately (which interestingly goes in /Assets/OculusPlatform!).  It seems to have a different libovrplatformloader.so.

    Now I'm left with just 'UnityException: Oculus Platform failed to initialize.', which I guess is an improvement. :cold_sweat:

    Maybe you missed a few steps to setup the Social Starter example regarding app id, etc? Your Unity Project > Social Starter Folder > ReadMe file has the step by step instructions re: where to put your app id

    Appreciate the reply, thank you.  I had already put the app ID in both places (for both Platform and Avatars).  All the other points in the readme seem good.  I followed the website setup instructions too.

    For the record my log now looks like this.  The lack of any kind of indication as to WHY it's failing is disappointing.

    Finally got this to work by uploading a build to the alpha channel and adding my development username by email to the channel.  How is this not documented at all in the setup for social starter?

    @raeldor Might I ask what you did to get the new .so file? The latest SDK package doesn't come with a .unitypackage file to import.
