Black screen when selecting file on Meta Quest 2 #55
Description
While creating a VR application for the Meta Quest 2 (Android), I tried to implement the file browser to select a txt file and read the contents at runtime. This all works great, apart from the fact that I am getting a black screen when selecting the file. Nothing breaks, as I can press the Quest button to get back into the game and the file is correctly read. Is there any way to fix this? I would like it to be seamless without the black screen and having to press the Quest button.
Unity version: 2022.3.16f1
Using OpenXR and XR interaction toolkit

I unfortunately don't have Quest 2 to reproduce this issue myself. This issue has been reported a couple of times before and there isn't a known solution so far. If you wish, you can use SimpleFileBrowser for the time being (see its FAQ entry). And if you can spot potentially useful logcat logs, please share them.

Thanks for the quick response! I tried it out and for VR I need to make sure the canvas is not on world space and scale it accordingly, which is a bit of pain but I will make it work. Thanks for the help and the quick response!

Awesome! I'll keep this issue open until NativeFilePicker's incompatibility with Quest is resolved.
