public string locationPathName { readonly get; set; }

The value of

locationPathName

determines both the location and the file name of the built application.

This path can be either relative to the project directory or an absolute path.

Unity does not modify this path automatically, so it must include the correct file name and extension based on the target platform.

If the directory doesn't exist, Unity will create the directory automatically during the build process.

Guidelines:

The path must include your chosen file name. For example,
```
Builds/MyApp.apk
```
for Android,
```
Builds/MyApp.exe
```
for Windows. Unity does not append extensions automatically.
For Android Package, use the
```
.apk
```
extension and for Android App Bundle, use the
```
.aab
```
extension.
For Windows, use the
```
.exe
```
extension.
For Mac, use the
```
.app
```
extension.
If the path is relative (e.g.,
```
Builds/MyApp
```
), Unity will treat it as relative to the project root directory.
To place the build outside the project directory, specify an absolute path such as
```
C:/MyBuilds/MyApp.exe
```
.

Don't use the following project directories for

locationPathName

Note: Paths pointing directly to the user desktop are not allowed.
