Have an apk file with my sig on it from a developer. How to load?

Hi everyone,

Our developer sent me an .apk file along with the entire Unity scene with assets to take a look at the code.  The Unity file opens and works fine on a pc with Unity.

How do I get the .apk file to load on the S7 and GearVR?  He used my device ID and made a sig file so it will load on my phone. I download and unzipped the files on the phone, I have the Oculus app and used it fine many times with GearVR.  I just don't see an option in the Oculus app to open his file or import it?  How do I do this so I can view the VR demo he sent me for GearVR?

Do you use the Oculus app to import the file?  Do you use another app?  Do I need to do something to get the demo he sent into the Oculus app so I can launch it with GearVR?  

Again, I downloaded and unzipped everything and I see all the files on my phone.  Just not sure how to get from that point to seeing it on the GearVR.

Thanks for the help.

See https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html and https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/shell.html. You can use "adb install -r yourfile.apk" to install the app and then run it from the launcher or use "adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.yourid/yourapplication" to launch it.

Hello, you have to enter unity, open the project and paste the signature ID S7 in the following path:
Assets / plugins / Android / assets.
