Building your project

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 forlder and put a name to your project.
