Herman 6 months ago | 3 comments

I Uploaded a APK file in the software. When i open sidequest on my Quest 3 it sees the app but it leads me to the meta store to download the normal app not the apk version that i loaded in in the desktop. How do in acces it?

You don't upload APKs; you install them with Advanced Installer. Once installed, you'll find it in Unknown Sources. If you don't see it there, you most likely have multiple accounts on the headset. Please delete all but the admin account.

What APK are you referring to, by the way?

Showtime VR. Not all services are useable on the normal version and the company revered me to the apk file. With the file i can use services.

Try restarting the headset after installing, and if you've already installed the app from the app store previously, you may need to launch it from the main app library. You can also use Advanced Installer to launch apps.

If you continue having issues with lunching the app, don't hesitate to contact the developers or Meta support regarding the best step for this situation. Sideloading isn't strictly a SideQuest thing; MQDH and other apps also allow you to sideload, so we cannot provide much more than the standard troubleshooting.
