Testing on a gearVR

Question

I am building my first VR game for the Gear VR(Since I got it for free). The question I have is there a way I can plug in the GearVR and run it on unity that way I can see what is going on in the game, while the game is being played? Currently the way I am testing my game is by building it, transferring it to my phone, installing it, then testing it. Which is very tedious. Here is my setup in case it helps:

unity 5.5

Android Studio

Oculus Mobile SDK

Unity should be able to load the code and profile it without you manually installing. If you follow the instructions from oculus all you need to do is check the box for "Development Build" and "Autoconnect profiler"

You also may want to enable Developer Mode on the phone so the app can be run without it being in the vr headset.

2nd link doesn't work. how to debug only with the phone instead connecting it with the headset everytime? – touhid udoy Oct 11 '19 at 15:43
@TouhidulIslam I have updated the link, it is under the section "Enabling Gear VR Developer Mode" on that page – Scott Chamberlain Oct 11 '19 at 16:59
Thanks a lot. it really helped. I was just going crazy swapping phone inside the vr and out – touhid udoy Oct 11 '19 at 17:29
