Nothing changed in my project relating to building/deployment except I updated from 4.16.1 to 4.16.2. After running Oculus util to prep and upload APK to Oculus Store, the operation failed as APK could not pass validation:

===============================================================================
validating package contents (4 / 5)
14% [░░░░░░░░░░░░ ]

ERROR: We found issues with the APK during validation. Please check that the APK meets the Application Manifest Requirements and then resubmit your app.

  • Oculus SDK version is not 1.0 or newer.
  • VR application mode (com.samsung.android.vr.application.mode) must be vr_only.
  • APK main activity intent filter set to android.intent.category.LAUNCHER, but must be android.intent.category.INFO. Your app must only appear in Oculus Home. It must not appear in the phone’s launcher.

===============================================================================

How could that happen?! Everything worked fine with 4.16.1

Thanks beforehand

Never mind. I think I improperly commented out block in GearVR_APL.xml containing the following:

com.oculus.svclib.OVREntitlementChecker.doAutomatedCheck(this);

Although I am surprised that SVCLib is not in UE4, but this line is still present in 4.16.2 o.O
