Deploy an APK on Managed Headsets via Meta Horizon Managed Services

Prerequisites

• An active Meta Quest for Business account
• Admin access to your organization in Meta Horizon Admin Center
• A compiled and signed APK (Release build) – Provide by us.

Step 1 : Access the Admin Center

Go to: business.oculus.com or horizon.meta.com/admin

Sign in with your organization administrator account.

Step 2 : Upload your APK to the Private Apps Catalog

1. Go to Apps → Private Apps
2. Click “Add App”
3. Fill in the details:
   • App name
   • Package name (e.g. com.mycompany.myapp)
   • Version
4. Upload your APK file
5. Wait for validation (a few minutes — Meta scans the file)

Step 3 : Create or Select a Device Group

1. Go to Devices → Device Groups
2. Create a new group or select an existing one containing your Quest 3 headsets
3. Make sure the headsets are properly enrolled in the organization (they must have been set up in “managed” mode)

Step 4 : Assign the App to the Group

1. Go back to Apps → select your uploaded app
2. Click “Assign to Group”
3. Select the target device group
4. Choose the deployment mode:
   • Required → the app installs automatically on all headsets in the group
   • Available → the app is available but the user chooses to install it

Step 5 : Deployment to Headsets

Headsets must be:

• Powered on
• Connected to the Internet

The app deploys automatically in the background. The user sees an installation notification. The delay is typically a few minutes to 1 hour depending on the connection.

Step 6 : Verify the Deployment

In the Admin Center:

• Go to Devices → select a headset
• Check that the app appears in the installed apps list with the status “Installed”

For Updates

Simply re-upload a new APK with a higher versionCode in the same app entry — Meta automatically pushes the update to all assigned headsets.

Common Issues

If the app doesn’t appear, verify the device is assigned to the correct profile and is online.
