    For me it helped to downgrade the unity version to 2022.3.15f1. We used 2022.3.56f1 before.

    I don't have the Meta XR All-in-One sdk installed and still I can reproduce this issue.

    Same issue here! How can you break the keyboard for non-VR builds and not put out a fix for it...

    Same problem here, but I just found a workaround:
    before building the app bundle in Android Studio, edit the Manifest file so that OCULUS.SOFTWARE.OVERLAY_KEYBOARD is set to required:false.
    That allowed me to keep the compatibility with every android device I had before.

    Unfortunately, there is no workaround.

    While the mobile keyboard does show up if i add OCULUS.SOFTWARE.OVERLAY_KEYBOARD to the Android Manifest (weird?), google store rightly removes all supporting devices because no mobile devices support oculus keyboard.

    Thus, this is crucial!
