Hit a major milestone today.
With over 100 lifetime active users for our UpLift VR Studios High Desert Eclipse Meta Quest VR app we finally get some analytics back.

I was under the impression it needed 100 purchased apps but evidently it's users who have installed and used the app both purchased, AppKeys, and possibly entitlements (think that is internal). So could have gotten this sooner rather than waiting for enough purchases after all.

Still tempted to do a free demo version later that links to app to purchase for upgrade and include extras and upscaled 8k time-lapse and eventually video. In the meantime need to continue working on publishing our out apps to PCVR and Quest outside of only being able to view them at events and festivals.
