@rayalex74 Thanks for the detailed write-up, and congrats on getting YOU live with glasses-powered broadcasting. About the error. Release channels control who can register an integration. Today each integration has one private, invite-only Beta channel, and only people invited to that channel can connect your app in the Meta AI app. A Google Play user who isn't on the channel will see "Error loading this integration / Application data is currently unavailable" when they try to register. Your invited tester connects with the same build, so this points to channel access, not to your Android registration or attestation setup. You don't need to change anything there. If an invited tester ever sees this error, please post the details here. About publishing. Publishing DAT integrations to all users isn't open yet, and right now there's no public application or review process for early access. Until it opens, the Beta channel is the supported way to get YOU onto people's glasses:

@alexsinkmeta We understand that public application submissions for the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit are coming soon. However, there needs to be a defined pathway for developers who already have fully functioning applications to obtain public approval. YOU — Your Own Universe is not merely a concept. We have successfully implemented the official Meta Wearables DAT, tested live POV broadcasting from Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and distributed our application through Google Play. The current restriction prevents ordinary users from connecting their glasses, even though the integration works with authorized testers. We are not requesting a workaround or exemption from Meta's security, privacy, or approval requirements. We are requesting a legitimate process to satisfy those requirements. Can Meta provide a concrete pathway for developers like us to submit an already functioning application for public authorization? Specifically, is there a selected-partner review program, early-access approval process, or developer-relations contact through which we can submit our application, working demonstration, and technical and privacy documentation? If public submissions are not yet available, we would appreciate an anticipated timeline, eligibility requirements, and an appropriate point of contact. We are prepared to undergo the necessary reviews. We simply need an actionable path toward public approval rather than waiting indefinitely. Thank you for your consideration. |

@alexsinkmeta Also, Apple will not approve it until we have requested the app be added to the MFi Product Plan form. Are you able to assist? |

Introducing YOU — Your Own Universe
We are building YOU, a first-person livestreaming and social app that lets a broadcaster share their real-world perspective with viewers. A key use case is live POV video from Ray-Ban Meta glasses into a YOU broadcast, so creators can show what they see hands-free.
We have implemented the official Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit and successfully tested glasses-powered broadcasting on Android with an authorized Meta account. YOU is already available on Google Play. This is a functioning integration, not a prototype.

New Android users installing YOU from Google Play report that their first attempt to register glasses in Meta AI produces:
The authorized beta account can connect. We understand this may be an expected restriction while Meta controls public DAT publishing.
Request to the Meta Wearables team
We are seeking official selected-partner / early public distribution authorization, rather than a workaround or a larger private tester list. Our goal is for eligible Meta-glasses owners who download YOU from Google Play to connect without Developer Mode or manual invitations.
We can demonstrate working glasses-powered live broadcasts and complete whatever product, privacy, technical, and safety reviews Meta requires. We would appreciate an introduction to the relevant Wearables partnerships or developer-relations team. Thank you.
