Sidequest over Airlink?

Has anyone found a way to get Sidequest to run over Airlink rather than Quest Link to load APKs?

Sidequest does not run over Airlink and Airlink does not run over Sidequest.

These are two different technologies that can both work over WIFI.

 

Sidequest, when installed on a PC, Mac or Android phone, will use wifi or cable to install games/apps on your Quest 1 or 2.  https://www.vrmarvelites.com/how-to-use-sidequest-wirelessly-on-oculus-quest/

These games run on the Quest, natively, without a PC.

 

Airlink will use Wifi to connect to a vr capable PC for playing Oculus Home games.  The quest is just an extension of the PC, running games on the PC using the PC's graphics card.

airlink occupies the device in the same way link occupies the device, it would not be possible to do so.  That said sidequest has a wifi setup to send commands and apps wirelessly.

Somebody was able to install sidequest for Android onto the headset and use it natively.  I tried it and it worked.
