Add apps from APK files to Admin Center

This article is only applicable to admins with relevant permissions.
Before you can add an app from an APK file to a Meta Quest for Business device, you need to add the app to your organization’s apps in Admin Center. Adding an app from an APK file is different from adding a third-party app.
Add an app from an APK to your organization’s apps in Admin Center
  1. Click Apps in the left menu of Admin Center.
  2. In Manage apps, click Create app in the top right.
  3. Fill out the information to add an app from an APK to your library, including a link to the app file.
  4. Click Create.
After you've added an app, you can assign it to Individual Mode and Shared Mode devices.
If you have purchased the Shared Mode add-on, any apps you add to Admin Center will be scanned for compatibility with Shared Mode. There will be a notice informing you of compatibility. If you add an app that’s incompatible with Shared Mode to a Shared Mode device, the app may not function properly.
Choosing appropriate apps
If a Shared Mode device does not require an account, then people have to be 13 years of age or older (subject to applicable legal requirements where you reside) to use it. Ensure you choose apps that are appropriate for anyone who may use the device in Shared Mode.
People have to be 18 years of age or older (depending on the age of legal majority where you reside) to use a Share Mode device that requires an account. Learn more about age requirements.
Update an app
  1. Click Apps in the left menu of Admin Center.
  2. If an update is available for an app, you can click Update available to the right of the app’s name in Manage apps.
  3. Click Update app.
  4. Fill out the updated information, then click Confirm.
Delete an app
If you delete an app from Admin Center, then it will also be deleted from your organization’s Meta Quest devices that use it. To delete an app:
  1. Click Apps in the left menu of Admin Center.
  2. In Manage apps, click to the right of the app you want to delete, then select Delete app.
  3. Click Delete to confirm.
Invite a developer to share private apps
As well as adding an app from an APK file to Admin Center, you can also invite a developer to share a private app from Meta Quest Developer Center to your organization’s Admin Center
