Uploading Gear VR Apps

Gear VR Build Packaging Requirements

Gear VR apps must be packaged as a single .apk file that meets the following specifications:

• Must be smaller than 500MB.
• Must have a release build application manifest. See Application Manifests for Release Builds.
• Must be signed with an Android certificate. See Application Signing.

Uploading Gear VR Builds

Before you can upload an app build, you must first create an app page for it in the Oculus Developer Dashboard. For more information, see Managing Apps.

To upload your build through the web interface:

1. Log on to the Oculus Developer Dashboard at https://dashboard.oculus.com.
2. Hover over your Gear VR app and then click Manage Build.
3. If this is the first upload for this app, click Upload Build.
4. If this is not the first upload for this app, click ... in the release channel you want to upload to and then select Upload New Binary.
5. Click Choose File and select the .apk file of your build.
6. Enter any release notes you have for this build, and then click Upload.

To upload your app through the command line interface:

• See Oculus Platform Command Line Utility.

If there are any packaging problems with your build, the upload validator lets you know what they are so that you can correct the issue and try again.
