Port Android apps
Bringing your Android apps to our platform requires minimal effort, and can instantly enable your app’s users to engage with your 2D experience in entirely new ways. Users can resize panels as large as they’d like and position them freely within their space for powerful multi-tasking. Alternatively, they can expand their panel onto a massive theater screen with spatial audio to feel more present with your app experience.

Meta Horizon OS supports most Android Native app frameworks, which makes it really easy to get started. In fact, Horizon system apps are built on the same React Native used in Facebook and Instagram- and the updated Facebook and Instagram MR apps were rebuilt in just a few months entirely with React Native. You can use your same toolchain as the phone and test your app in-headset for final checks- the Horizon OS shell takes care of translating MR inputs into tap and scroll events.

I'm tagging this as Nondeveloper as the first step is to read the documentation, understand the relevant sections and figure out a plan of action and whether the upload is viable (automatable and simple).
