Android XR Support
I'm porting a Meta Quest Unity XR project over to the new Android XR platform and the project used Normcore for it's multiplayer aspect. I'm wondering if there has been any work to support this new platform? Thanks

Hi @JasperNexus. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the available knowledge sources, Normcore supports a wide range of platforms, including Android and Meta Quest devices, as well as ARCore for augmented reality. However, there is no explicit mention of support for a "new Android XR platform" beyond the existing support for Android, Meta Quest, and ARCore. The documentation lists Android and Meta Quest (all devices) under supported platforms, and provides guides for setting up XR projects with Meta Quest and ARCore, but does not reference a distinct "Android XR" platform or any recent updates specifically for it.
If you are referring to a newly announced or rebranded Android XR platform that is not covered under Meta Quest or ARCore, the knowledge sources do not provide information about specific support or ongoing work for that platform. For the most up-to-date information, it is recommended to reach out to the Normcore team directly via their Discord or check their documentation for future updates regarding new platform supportPlatforms.
If your project targets Meta Quest or ARCore on Android, Normcore is already compatible with those platforms. If you need support for a different or newly released Android XR platform, please clarify or consult the Normcore community for the latest developments.

<@1429779167435821106> Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
It works fine. We already ship a compatible android native plugin and we rely only on Unity’s APIs for XR input which are all already compatible. Please let me know if you have any issues though and we can look into it for you.
Thanks Max - the main hurdle I'm looking into is the invite friends mechanics - as Meta handled all of that pretty much out of the box - but with Android XR, it appears we have to implement an invite system from scratch? Was hoping for something simple as sending a message to friends with a link maybe...
Ah, unfortunately Normcore doesn’t provide any invite APIs
I’m surprised google hasn’t added that native for Android XR
