Invite a developer to share private apps to your organization's Admin Center

This article is only applicable to admins with relevant permissions. If you are a developer, learn how to develop and share Meta Quest private apps.
When you invite developers to upload and share private apps, it means developers can upload apps to Meta Quest Developer Center and share them directly to your Admin Center. You can assign these apps to Individual Mode and Shared Mode devices.
Inviting developers to share private apps does not give the developers access to your Admin Center.
Alternatively, you can add an app from an APK file yourself. You can also add available third-party apps in Admin Center.
Private apps do not undergo formal review by Meta. All private apps distributed through a business channel must comply with applicable Meta terms and policies (including the best practices included in the Code of Conduct for Virtual Experiences), and Meta reserves the right to take action if they do not comply. Review the Private App Policies page for more details.
You can view tips and best practices for content moderation in the Trusted Developer Essentials course and learn more about how to build trusted experiences for apps.
