Deployment Options for Quest Development

When developing and publishing for the Quest, there are three main store options to consider. Given our situation, Sidequest appears to be the most suitable. Here are the options:

Sidequest

• Accessibility: Open for all developers, soft on reviews.
• Advantages:
  • Allows sideloading onto the Metaquest, making it very easy for users to get the app on their headset.
• Resources:
  • Developer Info: Sidequest Developers
  • Tutorial: How to Publish on Sidequest

Oculus Applab

• Accessibility: Open for all developers, medium hard on reviews.

Meta Store

• Accessibility: Very hard on reviews, even top games struggle to be accepted.

Alternative

• GitHub: One can simply leave everything on GitHub for the user to build themselves.
