Oculus Go: "Oculus Update Required" Error for Every App

NotMattShaw
Sightseer
Just setup my new Oculus Go (64GB consumer version, delivered today), and setup seemed to go normally, but when I try to download and use any app, I get an error message that reads, "Oculus Update Required. To learn how to update your Oculus app, visit http://support.oculus.com"

Problem is, I can't find any documentation on support.oculus.com that tells me how to update the app. Can't find much online, either. Anyone know what's going on, and how to fix it?

The update should be automatic. Can you please submit a support ticket so we can look into it?

I am having the exact same issue as the original post.  Just got the Go today.  Did you resolve the issue?  It won't play anything.

Tried a restart, any odd behaviour I have had has been sorted by this.

I'm also having the same issue. Restarting isn't working. Seems to be an issue on apps that require local storage, location permissions, etc. It's not allowing the ability to answer the permissions (in most cases), and when I exit and relaunch it there's the update error. The only exception so far was steaming Within, which, probably because of streaming doesn't have this issue. Even Oculus Rooms doesn't work for me so far. Haven't been able to connect to the device on my computer to verify any structure issues or attempt a manual install.

Having the same issue here. Netflix and MelodyVR result in 'Oculus Update Required' message. Have tried deleting and reinstalling the oculus app on my phone. Message also occurs when trying to deploy a simple build from Unity onto the device.

The issue seems to be fine now. After a couple days away, and a recharge, I got a message saying there was an update available, and to check on the phone.

When I checked the phone, it wasn't exactly clear, but I saw a Finish Setup button (even though it seemed to be setup already). When I finished that part again, it said Update in Progress, and then it was all good.

The permission interface is completely redesigned and works with the controller. Apps are working fine.

Hope that helps!
