Generate the Android manifest file

To submit your app to the Meta Horizon Store, you must have an Android manifest file that conforms to Meta Horizon Store requirements. For details on these requirements, see the official Meta Quest Virtual Reality Check (VRC) guidelines.

To complete this step, you must have a Meta XR Core SDK or the All-in-one SDK installed. See Import the Meta XR Core SDK for installation instructions.

To generate a Meta Horizon Store-compatible Android manifest file in Unity, select Meta > Tools > Create store-compatible AndroidManifest.xml.

This creates an AndroidManifest.xml file in your Unity application’s Assets/Plugins/Android folder. Note that this is not a complete manifest. Unity appends additional info to the file during the packaging process.

Unity can generate manifest files that contain Android permissions prohibited by Meta Horizon OS. Apps containing these permissions are not allowed to be distributed through the Meta Horizon Store.

To remove unwanted permissions, see Remove Permissions from your Manifest.
