Hi, I tried to build this project for my Android phone because I don’t have a Meta Quest headset. The app builds successfully and runs, but the camera is not showing. The screen stays black and the development console shows errors like:
“Passthrough permissions were not granted by the user”
“NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object”
I disabled the Camera Rig and Passthrough objects and tried using WebCamTexture for the phone camera, but I’m still facing issues. Is this project only designed for Meta Quest passthrough, or is there a way to make it work with a normal Android phone camera?
I would really appreciate any guidance. Thank you!
