Bedrock VR on Gear VR can't login to live using current Xbox App for Android

Microsoft has updated the Xbox App for Android to a newer version than the version provided by the Oculus store during the Minecraft VR install.  If that version is present before minecraft vr install it is impossible to login to xbox live within Minecraft VR. The version included from the oculus store will only work one or two times before it will fail requiring noticing it needs a  newer version at which point xbox live login will fail again.

This blocks realm and network play and import of your own worlds.
