I've been working with the Google VR SDK and I wrote a simple app that uses the GvrActivity and GvrView. The app used to work without any issues, but after I started using the Daydream headset, the app won't run.

Instead, when I deploy the app with Android Studio, I get an "Incompatible App" message that says "This Cardboard application is not compatible with Daydream headsets."

I didn't make any changes to the app. Stereo mode and VR mode are disabled, so I don't know what the problem is. Any thoughts?

Place the phone in the View first and get the Daydream environment started before running the project from your IDE. This error occurs for me when I try and start it when the phone is on the home screen or another app, but putting it in the View beforehand gets it working.

I fixed the problem by turning off Google VR Services. This can be done by going to Settings > Apps and selecting "Show System" in the menu. Then scroll down to "Google VR Services" and select "Disable". After this, regular apps can run normally.
