Meta App Store rejects net8.0-android34.0

[iamthefaker]

I believe the template supplied for stand-alone Meta Quest targets net8.0-android34.0 (unless I changed something a long time ago and forgot I did). However Meta appear to currently only accept up to android32. I tried changing to android32 but got build errors. I'm hoping I'll be able to fix them but in the meantime I thought I would mention this, (a) as feedback (b) in case there's something I need to know.

Setting the framework to net8.0-android32 used to work on net8, but it doesn't work with the new vs. I've tried a couple of things but for now the only workaround I have, is to remove the net9 folder from c:\program files\dotnet\ and restore the net8 workloads.
Let me know if you can find anything else that is working.

Nice to know. At least people can use and publish on meta store for now.

The problem for me goes deeper than that, on how to build the Oculus.GL library targeting sdk32. We dont have a manifest file for the library project.

@iamthefaker , can you tell me what line did you add to the manifest?

[iamthefaker]

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="29" android:targetSdkVersion="32" />

That made the issue go away completely without changing anything else in the project or project file at all.
I think, though, if you save the manifest file from the visual editor, instead of the XML editor, it has a nasty habit of removing that line.
So I've had to put in back in a couple of times after I forgot and updated a version number using the visual editor.

Thanks. I will give it a try.

v76 has an update to Android14.
Does that mean that after v76 is rolled out, they can up the store requirement from sdk32 to sdk34?

Of course we will run into similar issues again with future .net10, etc but .net8 will be fine for a year or so, and it's good to see that Meta keep their OS up to date with android versions.

Yesterday I was testing the new OpenAL on oculus, and show that.

@iamthefaker
Do you know anything about that?
