Steps

  1. Initialize the platform SDK with ovr_PlatformInitializeAndroid (or the asynchronous variant) at app launch
  2. Call ovr_Entitlement_GetIsViewerEntitled within the first 10 seconds of launch to check whether the current user is entitled to the app
  3. Poll for the result via ovr_PopMessage and handle the ovrMessage_Entitlement_GetIsViewerEntitled message type, manually deciding how to respond to a failed check (quit, demo mode, etc.) since there is no built-in enforcement
  4. For server-side verification instead of (or in addition to) the client check, call the graph.oculus.com/$APP_ID/verify_entitlement endpoint from your backend
  5. Configure achievements in the Meta Horizon Developer Dashboard (Engagement > Achievements) and report progress from the client using the platform SDK's achievement calls
  6. Push at least one build to a release channel first, since the package-name-to-App-ID mapping must exist in the dashboard before entitlement checks will succeed
