It appears that app sharing used to work, then stopped working. I've followed the instructions I've been able to find and it just doesn't work. I have 2 headsets, both have my account as the primary account. Both headsets are registered in the Oculus app. App sharing is turned on. But the secondary account is not able to install any games. Is Meta ever going to address this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

App sharing is now working. I had set it up correctly, and it didn't work right away. Then went back the next day and it worked. The symptom was that when logging in as the other user (that was to share my apps), it would have an icon to install the app. But when you clicked on "Install" it would show "Prioritizing", then it would go back to "Install". It just wouldn't do anything. I went back a couple of days later, and when clicking on "Install" it started installing. I'm now able to use my shared apps under different accounts.
Here's the link to the instructions: https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/accounts/multiple-accounts-and-app-sharing/

Same question here. Something tells me that private message will include the words "factory reset". It's a shame we don't seem to be getting a fix or at the very least an acknowledgment that this is a pervasive known issue.

I've sent in the PM. If I get joy, I'll post here how it was done.

I haven't been responding very quickly to support. Other things going on. They've been getting back to me quickly. But its still not resolved. I'm still working with them.
