Sideloading

Note that your app will not appear in the ClassVR launcher if installed without using the ClassVR Portal. See instructions here to install via ClassVR Portal -Using ClassVR Portal

ClassVR headsets have developer mode and USB debugging enabled by default, which means you can sideload APKs using a USB-C data cable. This can be very useful during development and there are many ways to do this, options include:

1. Software such as SideQuest and APK-Info

2. Android Debug Bridge (adb) - Using ADB

Using ADB

These instructions assume you have ADB available on your PATH

1. Open a terminal and change to the directory your APK is stored in

2. Run adb install -g <apk-name> to install your APK to the headset

   1. The -g flag grants all permissions required by the manifest

3. Run adb shell am start -n <package-name>/<activity-name> to run the app

   1. <package-name> is the name you would have configured, and usually takes the form of a reverse domain name (e.g. com.avantis.example)

   2. <activity-name> varies depending on how the APK was built. For Unity apps it's either com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity or com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerGameActivity (usually the former)
