Will C# work if deployed to Oculus Quest?

MisterAcoustic

Hi All - I'm about to start a VR project. As languages go, I prefer C# - it's easier and faster for me personally. But I haven't been able to figure out from research whether I can use it successfully to build an app for the Quest, or whether that's even a worthwhile pursuit with the current state of C# support.

I can go the GDScript route no problem, but if I can use C#, I can share some code with my server project.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't know if it's a stupid question, or if nobody knows.

I will say that I finally did spot on C# example in one of the VR setup tutorials - I just don't know if it's current. However, it's encouraging enough to allow me to choose which version of Godot to download 🙂.

I would still like to have confirmation on this, since I would prefer not to spend time on something that won't work, so if you know something, post something 🙂.

I'll post an update if I can prove that it works.

MisterAcoustic or if nobody knows.

There's only a few people that probably even own a quest and even fewer that actively develop for it then also the fact that at least as of now C# developers are the minority in godot userbase.

In case others are searching for this information, I think I have found a definitive 'no' for the time being:

It appears that C# support for Android is planned for a later 4.x release. So for now, I guess I'll use GDScript.

MisterAcoustic That comment says C# Android is not supported in 4.0, but that doesn't mean it won't work in 3.5. Wouldn't be the first time Godot dropped a target in a x.0 release that was added back in later (I think GLES 2 was dropped in Godot 3.0 and added back in 3.1). If I were you I'd just try getting a C# Hello World to run on Quest using 3.5 (which is the stable version anyway) and see if it works.
