Meta Quest - Connecting usb cameras permission issue

Hi,  
There’s a niche use case for VirtualHere in the VR community: it allows users to connect devices like the Vive Facial Tracker (or other cameras) to a PC wirelessly from standalone Android VR headsets, such as the Meta Quest. Until recently, this setup had been working perfectly.

However, starting with version 76 (and possibly 74) of Horizon OS (Meta Quest's Android fork), Meta introduced a new proprietary permission specifically for USB cameras. As far as I know, this change hasn’t been documented yet—likely because v76 is still in the public test channel. Unfortunately, this update breaks VirtualHere’s ability to forward USB camera devices.

I was able to confirm this by decompiling the latest VirtualHere server APK (v2.9.3), modifying the `AndroidManifest.xml` to include:

<uses-permission android:name="horizonos.permission.USB_CAMERA"/>

After rebuilding, resigning, and sideloading the APK, I manually granted the new USB Camera permission in Android’s app settings (since VirtualHere doesn’t prompt for it).

Once that was done, plugging in a USB camera triggered the usual popup asking whether to allow VirtualHere access (in my case, for the Vive Facial Tracker), and the device forwarded successfully—just like before.

While I can manually patch the APK each time, would it be possible for VirtualHere to include this permission by default in a future update?

Thanks!
