  • Oculus Go broken with latest SLR app release?

I understand that at a certain point Facebook forces you to stop being able to develop for deprecated platforms. However as a goodwill gesture to your Oculus Go based monthly premium SLR subscribers (like me), you should provide a way to get to the last supported .apk version of the SLR app for the Go...even if it is with BAT files like the old days. This would be treating your customers better than Facebook does --- who just cuts them off when they have older hardware. I understand no further updates on the Go would be available for the SLR app....but I think there are still a significant amount of Go users who would benefit from this. Thanks.

dog12398 Depricated??

Let me check some things, I'll be back asap.

edit: did you uninstall SLR from your Go first and restart the device?

      OK I tried that too but it still says "Deprecated" when I use the SLR Quest installer and won't let me install anything now. I found a blog link that says the Go is no longer supported after May of 2021.....but is there a way to manually install the last working .apk file that still supports the Go? It was working fine like 2 days ago....I just want to roll back to that version. Thanks.

      Maybe a link to the older .apk files for SLR app and I can manually do an adb install from the command line?

        Rakly3 Hi, same thing happened to me. I used your SLR installer and not sideloading and the app was working perfectly until 3 days ago when I updated the platform. Now, it doesn't let me in citing that I need to update to the new Oculus software. I checked and can confirm that I am on their latest update. Please fix this as I am an SLR Premium subscriber and there isn't a reason for me to continue subscribing when I can't use my GO. Thanks.

            themib Hi, I downloaded this, how do I install this to my GO to revert it back to the previous version? Thanks.

                    Rakly3 I connected my GO with the SLR Quest installer and it still said "latest update installed". I clicked to update it anyway and tried it but the same thing still happened. Please advise.

                        Lionheart321 Wait before doing anything. I'll confirm it myself.
                        Wanted to do it yesterday but I hadn't used my Go in such a long time it took quite a while for it to charge.

                          This totally slipped my mind, the OGo uses the GearVR version. For now I recommend using the DeoVR app via the Oculus store v8.53

                          The .apk from our website nor from SideQuest will work for the OGo. It installs the Quest version.

                          The v9.2.x update was targeted specifically for the OGo. We have no plans to drop support for the OGo so far.

                                    Rakly3 I'm confused, so besides having to download and use the DeoVR app, there is no way to access SLR app with the Go?

                                        doublevr I have the Quest 1 but I prefer using my GO for watching movies bc the GO is much lighter and more compact which makes viewing stuff much more comfortable. Guess I'll have to use the Quest

                                            Using the browser in oculus go the vr quality is extremely poor. With DeoVR it doesnt work, and now the SLR App doesnt support the oculus go either.

                                            SLR does not support Oculus Go anymore... Just cancelled premium - so sad 🙁.
