UnitySubsystemsManifest.json contains metadata about your provider that can be queried before your plugin is loaded. The values in this dictionary are used to populate specific instances of SubsystemDescriptors in C#. For example, information within the displays list is used to populate XRDisplaySubsystemDescriptors.
Example .json file:
{
"name": "PluginName",
"version": "1.0.0",
"libraryName": "UnityXRDisplayExample",
"displays": [
{
"id": "Display0",
"supportedMirrorBlitReservedModes" : ["leftEye","rightEye", "sideBySide"]
}
],
"inputs:": [
{
"id": "MockHMD Head Tracking Stationary"
},
{
"id": "MockHMD Head Tracking Simulated"
}
]
}

More info See in Glossary’s RegisterLifecycleHandler call. Likely to show up in UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. Unity currently supports three UI systems.

displays |
Collection of Display subsystem providers. |
id |
Identifier for this display plug-in configuration. The id must match the string you pass into your native plug-in’s RegisterLifecycleHandler call for that subsystem. You can have more than one display, as long as your native plugin calls RegisterLifecycleHandler for each. |
