Wave Android Manifest Guide

[Corvus]

Android requires every app to use a manifest file to define the app requirements and other useful information. The Wave SDK uses the Android manifest to define HMD degrees of freedom (3DoF/6DoF), controller DoF (3DoF/6DoF), number of controllers supported (0,1,2), and the minimum Wave SDK required.

Hey, can you publish the manifest file again? It isn't available anymore and it could help me with this weird bug.
