Can't record? Only one hand works? Rebuild your Manifest

If you're having problems since the last update, it's probably the manifest. 
In Unity, go to the Oculus menu, then Tools, then Remove Android Manifest.xml
And then, also in the Tools menu, Create Store-Compatible AndroidManifest.xml

That has fixed those issues for me, and apparently fixes a few other things as well. 

Good Hunting,

That fix, solved the controller issue, but I still can't record.

Did it actually fix the record issues for you?

Does not really seem to fix controller issues... I have seen this posted as a solution several places, but I also keep seeing replies about how it did not work for some people, but also some people that it did work for.

For me, I cannot use both controllers at the same time. So every time you get to control one hand, the other wont move. Very annoying.

Here are some solutions:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43293173/use-custom-manifest-file-and-permission-in-unity

That is the method... but what you want to add to the manifest file is this line:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:required="true" android:version="1"/>

With this added, it should work. Otherwise... I suspect it considers it an Oculus Go app or something.
Another interesting read:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:required="true" android:version="1"/>

Actually I like this solution best. Saves you from having to build your project.

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/quest/latest/concepts/mobile-native-manifest/

Find the AndroidManifest.xml file in the Plugins/Android folder. Then update the last 2 lines with this:

[code=CSharp]    </application>
  <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:required="true" android:version="1" />
  <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00030001" />
</manifest>

That is insert the two lines:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.vr.headtracking" android:required="true" android:version="1" />
  <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00030001" />

between the application and manifest lines. Then you do not need the full manifest generated, which will properly work better in the long run.

I'm having the same issue, did you find a solution?
