Unknown Sources and Casting

Geomedia

We are developing a non-distributed app that will only be installed locally on an Oculus Go.  We want to cast this app but are unable to because the app resides in the "Unknown Sources" tab which makes the casting feature unusable. How can this be accomplished?

I really need this as well, and wish there was an official answer. If it is NOT possible then ok but tell us that at least.

I'm developing an app for internal research purposes which will be used without publication. Just adding to the heap of users who are requesting a casting option from unknown sources. Thanks!

This is also something that would be extremely useful to us.

Fwiw, untested, but I've been told as long as your App ID matches a valid App ID of yours in the dashboard (even unreleased) it should "work".  But we just got back from a conference where casting wasn't working, and we had to move everything back to the Vive so it could properly be shown on a big screen for people passing by.

Still nothing from Oculus. In the interim, we've resorted to using this tool for wireless mirroring from a Quest to a laptop. https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

+1 we really need to be able to cast in order to direct people inside of VR that have never tried it. This is counterproductive to spreading VR to the mainstream.

Actually using Vysor Pro now. the quality is much better than what you can get from Oculus Casting.
