如何发送 Unity HoloLens 2 项目以供远程同事立即测试（无需 Microsoft Store 认证）

Question

I am developing for HoloLens 2 and I don't have the device (I am using the Emulator to test). I want to build the project with Unity and send the built package to a coleague that is not a developer - meaning, he is not good with Visual Studio - and who wants to test the app.

I tried using Microsoft Store and this worked for the inicial POC, but after the second submission I thought that it was going to be faster, but always take up to 3 business days, what is not acceptable as a good workflow.

I know that, in ideal conditions, I should have the HoloLens, but this is not possible for now.

Do you have any idea on how to send packages to a non-developer person so that he can test the app on another country and so that it doesn't require a certification process like Microsoft Store?

Answer 1

I had a similiar Issue for a while. The question I had was: How can I easily provide the build project and install it on the Hololens 2.

I don't know any other way than:

• Send the built with an explenation in a short PDF or other text file
• Create a virtual network, integrate the Hololens 2 into it and you can provide the Application over remote

I think there is currently no other option to do so.

You can take a look at the Sideloading feature provided by HoloLens Device Portal. Please follow this guide to connect the HoloLens over Wi-Fi or USB and manage your device from a web browser on your PC: Installing an app . In this way, you can directly send the app package to your colleague, and he can install it without using VS.
