Hi, I purchased Heresphere and recently tried to update to 9.0 apk. It seemed straight forward until I realized I had loaded the DEMO 9.0 apk which gave me some connection problems so I reloaded 8.0 apk (DEMO). I have spent some time searching/reading, logging in and out trying to find these apks. I find something called Steam Beta Branch, enabled it, but at this time this is like a puzzle that seems solvable. I have Heresphere installed and running on my OQ2, so where do these apks reside? I've had plenty of experience with installing/updating apps but this one has me stumped/pissed off. any help? thanks

There are two versions of the app, the PC version which available through Steam, and the Quest 2 version which is available on itch.io. Which version are you using?
To install the Quest 2 version, you need to sideload the apk on the Quest 2. The easiest method is downloading the advanced installer for SideQuest located on the right side of this page: https://sidequestvr.com/setup-howto Follow the instructions in the advanced installer (the easy installer doesn't allow you to install your own apk's). Once you've got SideQuest set up, click on the icon with the down arrow, and then select the HereSphere apk downloaded from itch.io. HereSphere will now appear in your Quest 2 apps under "unknown sources".
I'd recommend trying out the newest version v0.9.1 to see if that fixes the connectivity issue instead of downgrading back to v.0.8.0. You should be able to download the apks after logging into your itch.io account that you used to purchase the app. Else, find the email that itch.io sent you with the download links when you originally purchased the app.
OK, as I mentioned, I loaded the app on my OQ2. I was never able to download the updates from the website, the APKs were greyed out, with your suggestion, I now know that the only way I can update the app on my PC in particular is from my email confirmation of purchase, I updated the app to 9.1.0 and all is good, thanks for the speedy reply
