Literally Cannot Develop For VR (Quest)
I, by absolutely any means whatsoever, cannot develop for the Oculus Quest.
Nonsense backstory:
Lets get this straight. About 50% of why I got the Oculus Quest is because of its developer capabilities. I loved the idea of being able to make a game for VR easily, and for the early days of the quest it worked great. However, everything has gone haywire. Nothing works, I cannot build the project, and so many other errors have occurred.
Issues:
I have had a whole range of issues. Mostly the following:
Problems with scripts updating
Builds will fail one time and work without any change the text time
I cannot uninstall the Oculus Integration package because its "Hooked by loaded DLLs" or stuff along those lines
Full-game builds will fail due to non-existent path errors... for the path that the scene file is being accessed from
Full game builds will either not upload or upload and only work with one eye
Multiple colliding plugins error from installing the Oculus Integration package once
Corrupted APK file does not contain unityplayer.dll
Game will not render random meshes that will work in the editor
Important: Creating any animation avatar (the thing needed for animation, aka the thing that makes games look nice) for a custom model will make the game refuse to open, due to "memory overload errors" (note that this is not a problem with the model, since I tried importing a single bone connected to a single triangle and it still crashed the game.)
Tracking wont work unless the Quest is unplugged from the computer
Unpacked shadow-masks will crash the game
And a whole list of other things that I'm not remembering at the time
Attempted Fixes:
Everything. I have tried every single fix known to man. I have completely uninstalled and re-installed unity, and all its packages, the Android development kit, multiple Android SDKs, the Oculus Integration package, and many other things that should just work with Unity.
Replicate the problem(s):
Unity 2020.1.0a14
Window 10 64bit
Oculus Integration version 1.43

Conclusion
If anyone has any fixes or has experienced any of the same problems, please let me know what to do. I really would like to develop for the Quest, but I'm starting to go bald from all the hair I'm pulling out. This is also at fault of Oculus for not having a working integration package, but that is out of my control. Its just very frustrating to not be able to do something that I have been putting so much effort into doing. I just wish that I didn't have to look up error messages every 5 minutes and just have it work. If anyone could help me, please do. I just wanna make a game.
