Hello,

I am using UE4 to build a Quest 2 application and trying to use Snapdragon Profiler to capture/trace. 

Whenever I try to launch the apk from Snapdragon Profiler, I get this error message:

"

Snapdragon Profiler was unable to connect to the specified activity.

Verify that the application has the debuggable attribute set.

If the debugger is unable to connect, please verify that no other applications are using the JDWP debug port (e.g. Android Studio, Android Device Monitor, etc)

"

In AndroidManifest.xml, I have added "android:debuggable="true" " in <application>, and 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" / >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" / >
 
Anyone has any suggestion on how to solve this problem?
 
thanks

Snapdragon Profiler also requires apps to have internet permission enabled to connect for profiling.

is <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" / > enough or do I need to add something else?

 

here are all the permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.BILLING" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" / >
  <uses-permission android:name="com.oculus.permission.HAND_TRACKING" / >
 
By the way, is Snapdragon Profiler work with OpenXR automatically? (no Present call in OpenXR apps)
 
Thanks

Sorry, I overlooked a key fact in your initial post: that you are developing for Quest 2. Meta has developed their own profiling ecosystem for Quest 2 that will likely interfere with Snapdragon Profiler. For best results on Quest 2 I recommend using the Meta tools. You can find more information at https://developer.oculus.com/.
