Pico 4 headset not working with StereoKit #1

I cannot run StereoKit with the StereoKit_DotNet project and the StereoKit_Android project on my Pico 4.

StereoKit_DotNet (PC VR) problem

I use the Pico Streaming Assistant with a USB cable, which successfully opens and runs SteamVR. The problem is when I run StereoKit it does not recognise my headset and just opens in "flatscreen mode", even though it is working right in SteamVR.

I get this info in the console:

[SK info] Couldn't find our desired MR form factor, no MR device attached/ready? [XR_ERROR_FORM_FACTOR_UNAVAILABLE]
[SK info] MixedReality display mode failed, falling back to Flatscreen

StereoKit_Android problem

When I run StereoKit natively on the Pico 4 it is just displayed in 2D mode and I can not do anything.

I then looked at the Pico 4 documentation and it stated that I should add <meta-data android:name="pvr.app.type" android:value="vr" /> in the AndroidManifest.xml file. When I then ran the StereoKit application, it was just stuck in the Pico 4 loading screen.

On their documentation, they are stating that some things need to be loaded into OpenXR, but I don't have the knowledge of OpenXR so I have not tested adding that code.
