Developer workflow: enabling developer mode on the VR device

Enabling developer mode on your VR device is an essential preparatory step for many developer-related activities, including sideloading, debugging inside the browser over USB, capturing screenshots and videos remotely, and more.

Oculus Go / Quest

Enable Developer Mode via the Oculus companion app on your phone. Use the same phone that you used to initially set up the Oculus Go with.

Huawei VR

Enable developer mode on the Huawei Phone using the regular method for Android:

1. Open Settings -> About Phone
2. Click Build number a few times until Developer Option is enabled.

After that, sideloading apps via ADB should be possible.

More information is available in the Android Documentation.

Pico 4

Click the gear icon at the top top right corner of the Quick Settings window to access your device's Settings.

In the settings, select General on the left side, then click on the About section.

Click the Software Version repeatedly (eight times seems to do the trick).

A new Developer section will appear on the left side of the Window. You are now in Developer mode and able to install Wolvic.

If you know what you are doing, feel free to explore the Developer Mode options.
