ovrRequest

Detailed Description

When a user has an entitlement to an application, it means they have purchased and downloaded the application via the Oculus store, or are otherwise entitled to run the application. The Platform SDK entitlement check system allows you to verify at run-time that the currently user attempting to run your application is in fact entitled. This check works even if the user is offline.
It's critical to note that this entitlement check does not happen automatically, and if it fails it does not automatically exit the application or have any other side effect. It's up to you to call the entitlement check and handle failure however you see fit.
To make an entitlement check use ovr_Entitlement_GetIsViewerEntitled(). This is an asynchronous call, so you may wish to avoid making other platform calls until you handle the response, but this is not strictly required.

During development the entitlement check can return false unless a number of additional steps are taken. Most of these steps will require you to set things up using the developer website at https://dashboard.oculus.com.
Each application must be set up:
  1. You must create an application at https://dashboard.oculus.com and obtain the application ID, which you provide to the Platform SDK.
  2. You must upload a binary package for your application on the developer website at https://dashboard.oculus.com/application/[YOUR_APP_ID]/build. During development this package does not need to function in any way, but it does need to exist.
Each developer that needs to pass the application's entitlement check must:
  1. Have an entitlement to the application by being added as a developer for the application, which can be set up on the developer website at https://dashboard.oculus.com/application/[YOUR_APP_ID]/developers.
  2. Be able to see a binary package for the application by being in a release channel that has a binary package, which can be set up on the developer website at https://dashboard.oculus.com/application/[YOUR_APP_ID]/build.
NOTE: If some of your developers are not part of the application's organization, and they need to run your application outside the normal install directory, that can be enabled by adding a special registry key "AllowDevSideloaded" as DWORD(1) to the registry folder at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus. This does not bypass having a valid entitlement, it just bypasses the directory check.
Once the above steps are completed, the entitlement check should succeed even if running a local build of your application.
