Disable guardian at runtime in Mixed Reality Apps (Unreal)

Question

Hi, as you know we don't need guardian any more with mixed reality

While looking for a solution for this I found this code under unity topic

<uses-feature android:name="com.oculus.feature.CONTEXTUAL_BOUNDARYLESS_APP" android:required="true" />

They just adding this to AndroidManifest.xml for unity

Problem is Unreal documention say "You should never edit the AndroidManifest.xml file under any circumstances. Any edits that need to be made to the AndroidManifest.xml file should be done inside the UE Editor in the Advanced APK Packing section."

I couldn't figure out how to add the code to that section.

when i add as a extra setting (code line) i couldnt build it i can try as a tag but i dont know how does it work

any idea would help

1. go to project\build\Android\, add a empty new file "ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt", add the line

<uses-feature android:name="com.oculus.feature.CONTEXTUAL_BOUNDARYLESS_APP" android:required="true" />

2. build the package and install it into headset.

3. when you open the app, it will give you some tips about no guardian.

The accepted solution here involving ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt causes my MR Template app to crash on launch.Luckily, I found that I can just turn on these two checkboxes to do this.
