Troubleshooting

• Why audio can't be streamed on some apps.
  • TLDR: Pair bluetooth earbuds to your Android to listen audio.
  • Due to Android API limitations, only the apps running on your phone needs to be targetSDK >= 29 to support audio capture by default, so old apps may not support this feature yet.
• Why XXX doesn't work?
  • Try restart the app / phone / Oculus Quest.
  • It works on my machine.

Building for source

Just normal gradle build as usual. For VrPhone Screen, you need to run setup_sdk.py to setup Oculus SDK correctly.
