It’s hard to find a complete guide to connect Mac and Meta Quest2, build and run unity application, so I write this down. Before start, I would say that I tried several methods online but none works. Finally I found this blog. A lot of thanks. For MAC, I didn’t find a way to cable so it only works if you want to package your application and run in Quest.

Recipe

Mac M2 pro

Meta Quest2

Unity 2022.3.8f1

Step 1 Open developer mode on your Quest

  1. register a developer account on meta (register, two-factor authorization, boom!)
  2. download quest app on your mobile and connect to your quest attention: I was stuck at this step because of the stupid facebook login loop. The account on quest and phone app should be consistent.
  3. open developer mode

Step 2 Download SideQuest on your Mac

Install the advanced one so that you can install your own apk file.

Step 3 Connect your Quest to Mac

use the right connection. I use quest link and a TypeC adaptor. Try to play around and see if the Quest is charged. Once it shows charged or pop up a window for you to authorize debugging mode, then it’s connected. Also refer to the instructions in the SideQuest until it shows connected.

Step 4 Set up unity

Follow this 05:45 - 13:40

Build and run your application in Quest!

Step 5 Open your Application in Quest

You can find “My Project” in your Quest Application (in “unknown source” category).
