Returns

Type

Description

IReadOnlyList<InstalledPlatformInfo>InstalledPlatformInfo collection.

Remarks

Each InstalledPlatformInfo in the returned collection provides the platform's 
displayName
and its 
platformGuid
.
Use 
platformGuid
to identify a platform in code, because it's a stable identifier. Don't compare against 
displayName
, because it's localized and intended only for display in the Editor.
The following 
platformGuid
values identify commonly used platforms:

The following example logs the display name and GUID of every installed platform.
using System.Collections.Generic;using UnityEditor;using UnityEditor.Build.Profile;using UnityEngine;public static class InstalledPlatformsLogger{    [MenuItem("Build/Log Installed Platforms")]    public static void LogInstalledPlatforms()    {        // Retrieve every platform module currently installed in the Editor.        var installedPlatforms = BuildProfile.GetInstalledPlatformModules();        foreach (InstalledPlatformInfo platform in installedPlatforms)        {            // Each entry exposes a display name and the GUID used to create a build profile.            Debug.Log($"{platform.displayName} ({platform.platformGuid})");        }    }}
The following example checks whether the Android platform is installed, and if it is, creates a build profile that targets Android.
using UnityEditor;using UnityEditor.Build.Profile;using UnityEngine;public static class AndroidProfileCreator{    // GUID that identifies the Android platform. Refer to the list of common platform GUIDs on this page.    static readonly GUID k_AndroidPlatformGuid = new GUID("b9b35072a6f44c2e863f17467ea3dc13");    [MenuItem("Build/Create Android Profile If Installed")]    public static void CreateAndroidProfile()    {        // Confirm the Android module is installed before you create a profile that targets it.        foreach (InstalledPlatformInfo platform in BuildProfile.GetInstalledPlatformModules())        {            if (platform.platformGuid == k_AndroidPlatformGuid)            {                BuildProfile.CreateBuildProfile(platform.platformGuid, "Android");                return;            }        }        Debug.LogWarning("The Android platform module isn't installed.");    }}
