What are APK files?
APK stands for Android Package Kit. It’s the file format used by Android operating system for distribution and installation of mobile apps.
APK files are essentially the equivalent of .exe files on Windows or .dmg files on Mac. They contain all the necessary files required to install an app on your device.

Step 2: Install ADB
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a command-line tool used for communicating with Android devices. You’ll need it to transfer APK files from your computer to your Oculus device. Here’s how to install ADB:
- Download ADB from Google’s website.
- Extract the contents of the zip file into a new folder.

Step 3: Download APK files
Now that you have developer mode enabled and ADB installed, you’re ready to download APK files to your Oculus device. Here’s how:
