HMD mode fails for Meta Quest 3 with custom builds

[fire]

Tested versions

• Reproducible db66bd3
• Not reproducible in Meta Store Godot Engine (4.4?)

System information

Meta Quest 3

Issue description

Error: OpenXR was requested but failed to start. Please Check if your hmd is connected. Godot will start in normal mode.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download the android-editor from the github actions on db66bd3
2. Use the horizon os apk.
   
3. Use sidequest to load apk onto the Quest 3 (assumed partnership agreement with Meta)
4. Launch project from downloaded folder

• To launch on the left side of the app browser select "other" applications to find non appstore apps.

5. Click play.

@fire does the project you are running works with the store version of the editor (version 4.4-dev3)?

[fire]

As far as I know it should play in the xr with the store version. The result is that the HMD is placed into the scene with the physical sky with no controllers.

Not reproducible in Meta Store Godot Engine (4.4?)

Here's a video with the store version of the editor.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce this.

I tried both the artifacts from GitHub actions on PR #97820 (which is where db66bd3 is from) and building latest master locally (currently 842f982), and both were able to correctly run a simple immersive project.

I'm not sure what could be different between your setup and mine?

[fire]

Are you clicking play in the editor?

[dsnopek]

Yes. My understanding is that was what you are doing too?

[fire]

How are you loading the apk? Maybe sidequest tinkers with the upload.

Just adb install android_editor-horizonos-debug.apk in a terminal

[fire]

I'll try that.

Using a custom build also works now for me on the Meta Quest 3.

I suspect that the Godot Engine is loaded as a 2d app and when the custom editor build works it reuses the manifests from the Meta App store app but that makes no sense.

To test this theory I used the htc xr elite which has no store app and the same message of Openxr failed to start in XR mode.

[fire]

I suspect that I may have accidently installed android_editor-android-debug.apk because android_editor-horizonos-debug.apk seems to work.

Everything seems to work. Not sure how to make this better.

Using it with the HTC headset will also have issues because it has the wrong OpenXR loader.

Using it with the HTC headset will also have issues because it has the wrong OpenXR loader.

Also HTC requires different manifest entries, though from all the headset HTC is the least difficult as all features are purely to steer the store entry and have no impact on whether an app runs or not. There is one HTC specific manifest entry required to tell the OS that it is a VR app or it will run it as a normal Android app.

[fire]

Do you know what the exact definition of that HTC specific manifest to enable VR app.

[fire]

I'll close soon as I was able to test the feature and it works.

The HTC specific manifest entry is a different issue / feature request.

@fire were you able to test that the issue is resolved on the Quest 3?
For HTC devices, we should create a separate issue and close this one.

[fire]

it is resolved

my quest 2 does the same, how did you fix it ??

I want to run the game normally without any computers, like a simple game, how ?
