Building your project
Before building the app we need to make sure we disable the default main camera as there can't be two cameras in your project, to do so, just select it and untick the box next to the camera name field in the inspector.
To build your app first open the file menu and select Build settings, please make sure that your build platform is set to Android, in this example, we will switch the build platform from Windows to Android, first, we select the Android build and then click the "Switch Platform" button. It should update after a few moments. Next we need to press the "Add open scenes" button to make sure our scene is added to the build, finally, just click Build and select a folder and put a name to your project.
