Oculus Quest Development

All Oculus Quest developers MUST PASS the concept review prior to gaining publishing access to the Quest Store and additional resources. Submit a concept document for review as early in your Quest application development cycle as possible. For additional information and context, please see Submitting Your App to the Oculus Quest Store.

Uploading Rift Apps

You can upload Rift apps using the developer dashboard or with the command-line tool.

Prerequisites

Before you can upload your Rift app, you must:

  • Have an account with Oculus and set up a development organization. For more information, see Manage Your Organization and Users
  • Create a page for your app in the developer dashboard. For more information, see App Submission and Store Review.
  • Have your app packaged correctly.
    • For the web interface: All necessary files and folders must be packaged in a .zip file. Note that the launch executable file does not need to be at the root of the file structure. You will specify it’s location in the upload process.
    • For the command-line tool: All necessary files and subdirectories must be inside a single directory that you can specify to the command line tool
