Facebook has officially started the “developer verification” process it previously announced . Now, all users with an account on the Oculus Developer platform are required to verify their mobile phone numbers or credit card information.

If this verification process is not completed, it will not be possible for developers to upload (sideload) the applications or test contents they prepared onto Oculus headsets. This step, which aims to increase security and account authenticity, has become a critical necessity for the developer ecosystem on the platform.
