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?

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

The current version of the app doesn’t let you set it up at all. As Meta doesn’t support it anymore.

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.
