trying to use apprentice VR on mac
i connected it to a cable "on mac cables don't rlly matter" but it still isn't authorized idk why it doesn't work ive tried both IP and turning dev mode on and off on my phone also for the people that will say VRP is gone or wtv im using a new mirror for apprentice so it works can somebody tell me how to connect it to my headset so i can install i remember on the old apprentice i figured it out after like a week edit: same issue with the cyber deck. EDIT AGAIN the issue is solved: Try this exactly in this order because Quest authorization on Mac can be annoying as hell sometimes.
First disconnect the Quest completely and close VR CyberDeck, SideQuest, Android Studio, Oculus app, or anything else that might be using adb.
Then open Terminal.
If you already have adb go to that folder first:
cd /Users/<you>/Library/Application Support/VR-CyberDeck/bin/adb
Then run:
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb devices
If it says command not found, install the latest platform-tools from Google:
https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
After that:
adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.applications.ManageApplications
Then:
find the settings app with the gear/cog and then go down to about or whatever and click on the build number 10x until it says developer mode on
go in to dev mode and click revoke usb debugging...
unplug the headset
reboot BOTH the Mac and the Quest
reconnect the headset
immediately put the headset on
You SHOULD get a popup asking to authorize USB debugging.
IMPORTANT:
Check:
Always allow from this computer
Then hit Allow.
After that run:
./adb devices
Good output looks like:
List of devices attached
1WMHH1234567 device
If it says:
unauthorized
or
offline
try these:
use a different USB cable because tons of USB-C cables are secretly charge-only garbage
try a different USB port
uninstall Android File Transfer if you have it installed because it conflicts with adb constantly
run:
pkill adb
then:
./adb start-server
./adb devices
Also check this on macOS:
System Settings → Privacy & Security
Make sure Terminal is allowed under:
Files and Folders
Developer Tools (if shown)
LAST thing to try if nothing works:
Turn Developer Mode OFF in the Meta Horizon app on your phone.
Reboot the Quest.
Turn Developer Mode back ON.
Reboot again.
That weirdly fixes authorization issues pretty often. "This is what fixed it for me if anybody else has the same issue"
I have read all the pinned posts and i have searched the megathread.
