Oculus Developer - Gear VR / Oculus Go app is not visible in Oculus app or any screens in the mobile device

You have built and installed the app in your device, but its not visible in the home screens or Device (except the Setting --> Apps screen, which do not have any option to launch it)

This is by design. Gear VR apps will not have a shortcut that you can use to launch it. It have to be launched from the Oculus app only.

To make your app visible inside the app, Upload a binary/apk to one of the Build channels (I have used Alpha) in the Build Dashboard. In the Build Dashboard, you will see an option to add test users as well. Make sure you add yourself. After adding, wait for the email with information on signing up. This may take some time to show up in your inbox (took about 30+ mins for me)

Once you click on the the email invitation link, the app will appear in the My Preview Apps section of Oculus Home
