Important

In order to build your application for standalone XR headsets, please ensure that you are using the UniversalXR as the Camera XR Mode, from the MAGES hub. Also please ensure that you have added VR support to your project, by following the instructions mentioned here.

Before you build the app, select the XR Devices setup from the MAGES Panel.

  1. To build a standalone XR application, you must ensure that your Unity project is set for the Android platform. To switch the active platform head to File > Build Settings, select the Android platform and click Switch Platform.

  3. Specify the folder, where your build will be saved and click Save.

  4. The build procedure will generate a .apk file. You can sideload it to your mobile VR HMD and launch the application.

You can see a tutorial on how to sideload your .apk to your headset here.

Note

You can build the standalone .apk file either from a windows or macOS device.
