Hello. i can see some progress - status changed.
But it is in progress for unity 6, what about 2022.3.x
i also don't understand why that version is not mentioned in header of issue.

Might be further down the line, since this also happens at 2022

This is related to the soft shadow optimization on Quest and HoloLens introduced in 17.0.0 version of URP. It breaks only when the soft shadow quality is set to High.
The bug is in UniversalRenderPipelineCore.cs, in ShaderGlobalKeywords.InitializeShaderGlobalKeywords(). Somebody made a copy-paste error, and forgot to initialize the SoftShadowsHigh field.
As a workaround, you can patch the URP package to add the missing line, or switch to Medium or Low soft shadow quality in the URP asset until the bug is fixed.
