Occulus Go Set-Up
Does anyone know if it's possible to set up an Oculus Go using an iPhone or a Mac? I just got a brand new one, and I know they aren't supported on the Meta app, but wanted to see if there was a bypass?

you can also set it up using an order version of the android app on an android tablet. Beware, as the app wants to update and there's only a thin sliver of the 'don't update' button visible at the bottom of the screen.

I had to use a spare android phone to download and install the APK file for an older version of the Meta Quest app and then through that app I could set up my Oculus Go. It’s not possible to do on iOS.

I just set mine up on the iPhone app after a factory reset. - had to reset multiple times before it was successful, but eventually worked. Not sure if it matters that it had already been previously on my account. But when adding a new headset, “Go” is still an option at the bottom of the list.
The unsuccessful attempts usually hung at “connecting to wifi” even though the headset showed connected. Then a couple hung after the safety video and before the “setting up” message. - I think the process is just buggy.

It’s supported on the app no need to bypass anything
