Cant get any of this working , cardboard , android 5.0.1

Hi
i ve start playing around unity and android on the 8 feb 2017
this is relevant because it all has been updated on 9th feb

so far , what i got :
windows 10 x64 [edit : windows N , the thing without the media stuff blabla]
galaxys4 android 5.0.1
adb working
android sdk installed
3 unity installed , 5.5.1f1, 5.4.2f2-GVR13 , 5.6.0b7
my test scene is a cube rotating with a script
and the camera rotating with the gyro
camera script gyro started in start and in the update:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.Rotate(-Input.gyro.rotationRateUnbiased.x,-Input.gyro.rotationRateUnbiased.y,0);
3.         if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
4.             transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
5.         }
6.  

i can compile apk , run remote 5, gyro(with drift witch is normal) and touchscounts working, changing orientation working,
(magneto not working because you need to write some plugin but i think it s another topic)
Nothing to do with VR , all good it seems on Unity5.5.1f1

same with 5.4.2f2-GVR13 i can remote5 , android build and run , build target the same android 4.4 (lvl 19) , touchcount gyro working , magneto not working , no vr package import nothing

untill here i m fine
now i import the GoogleVRForUnity.unitypackage downloaded the same day as the unityGVR install.
Remote5 is working with gyro and touchcounts the same scene than before

i havnt changed anything , i just imported , didnt started the packages scenes or anything else from the package and i cant Built and Run anymore and i get this error

so i tried editing the AndroidManifest and the sdk version but i dont really know what i m doing

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now (10th) i do the same with the new Unity Beta 5.6.0b7 as maybe i ll see some differences
remote5 is working , gyro and touchcount too.
build and run not working even before importing the updated version of GoogleVRForUnity.unitypackage
i get 3 errors

now i changed in the player setting the Target Api to the exact same than my phone Android 5.0 'Lollipop' (API level 21)
and it compiled and ran on my phone , witch is great ,

but then jut import the GoogleVRForUnity.unitypackage (freshly re downloaded today on 10th)
ask me to update my scripts , so i click go ahead i made a backup
when done i get this error

Code (csharp):

1. Movie importing requires Quicktime to be installed.

i dont know if this is important or not

test scene (gyro + touchcount) working in remote ;
same scene , just package imported , nothing loaded from it =

the reality headset is set to cardboard in case you re wondering , not set to Daydream , and it is the only one that is set

16-bit depth
NOT enabled transition
multipass
NOT pretected graphics Memory

i dont know anything about theses settings so i left theses as default


i m going to tried to edit my xml manifest in the project folder (Assets) to see if i can get things to run
i changed
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="24" />
to
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="21" />

didnt work but is now reflected in the 1rst error

Projects\Tuto\EmptyWithBeta\Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\gvr-permissionsupport-release\AndroidManifest.xml:3] Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion='21'> but library uses targetSdkVersion='24'
and
Projects\Tuto\EmptyWithBeta\Temp\StagingArea\android-libraries\unitygvr\AndroidManifest.xml:3] Main manifest has <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion='21'> but library uses targetSdkVersion='24'

when in the temp folder and edited the xml manifest indicated in the 1rst error
so i changed the 24 to 21 again but this chages nothing and is overwriten when i buildandrun

i then changed both min and target in the player settings to 21
and then file searched for every xml file in the root of the project folder opened every xml named android manifest or cardboard , and changed all 16 or 19 or 24 to 21

still nothing and still the same error

i dont know what i can do more

 

i just found out that i dont have to import anything to get the error
on a new project
if i just enable the cardboard headset and buildandrun , i get the 3 errors merging manifest ...

and the other 2 from before

 

yes if i stat the latest beta , set up android as default build platform , ask for 21 for min API and 21 target API
enable virtual reality and put cardboard only in the list and try to build i get theses errors

 

ok , so i started android studio , it said that some things were missing , and now it looks like it is re downloading everything
and also it ofers updates for :
android support repo , google repo , google apis intelx86 atom system image
so i m doing them now

 

yup still the same , i can compile a test scene with a rotating cube and minimal test intereaction with phone (touchcount and gyro)
but as soon as i enable VR headset and select cardboard , i get the same errors

 

Could you try replace the manifest values to and see if it works:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="22" android:targetSdkVersion="24" />

 

i ll try that
but can you tell me what file(s) i am suppose to edit exactly instead of going though all xml

meanwhile , i didnt have to interact with manifest (nor the GoogleVRForUnity.unitypackage) since i found out that the bug is when i enable the vr headset
so i dont think the problem is in the package
but what i m gona try is to build for 24

 

so , i didnt import the package , just tried to compile my pseudo empty scene for API24 both min and target and cardboard enable in vr headsets and i get theses 2 error

so , do this mean i have a problem with my android sdk install ? even if i can compile and run on my phone ?

 

i m not sure what that means?
nougat sdk (24) is installed in android studio.
but what ever i do it just doesnt build , what ever my phone s system , i didnt try build and run , i just tried build , even just this is not working .

in fact i dont really need cardboard , but the thing is i cant access my magneto/compass , and i guess few other things , because some plugin communicating from android/java to unity is needed , i thought it would be easy to just get cardboard up and running but i was wrong

if i was not a noob i would just grab that from cardboard sdk , and also the shader applied to the camera to compensate the lens diffraction , cause that s basically all anybody would ever need

 

i ve updated everything in android studio
and java , and now it builds on 24 but not on 21 still have the manifest merge error

 

i had not understood that , It s working , i can build , import and run
i dont know yet how to use this package but i l tinker around

thank you for this last precision , it helped immensely
