Create OrganizationTo allow installing apps & games to your headset we need to enable developer mode. To do this, you have to be a registered “developer” on the Oculus website. This process is free, quick and easy to setup. Go to dashboard.oculus.com on your PC and create an ‘organization’. You’ll be asked to accept the developer agreement.
3. Enable Developer Mode and Reboot
Now that you’re a “developer”, open the Oculus app on your smartphone or tablet. In the Settings tab, tap on the headset and tap ‘More settings’. In the list, you should now see Developer Mode. Once you have enabled developer mode it is a good idea to reboot your headset to be able to see it on the device.
4. Connect USB Cable and Allow USB Debugging
Now its time to connect the USB cable. Once you are connected you will have to allow USB debugging access on your headset. If you put your headset on at this point you will see something like the below. You should also select ‘Always allow from this computer’ to prevent this message from coming up every time you connect.
Important 1): Disable Unlock Pattern in the Oculus app in Settings > Quest > More Settings > Unlock Pattern.
See the image in Step 2 for more info.
Important 2): Try a phone USB cable instead of the cable that comes with your Quest.
