| [IReadOnlyList\<InstalledPlatformInfo>](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.ireadonlylist-1) | [InstalledPlatformInfo](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/build/profile/installedplatforminfo.md) collection. |

### Remarks

Each [InstalledPlatformInfo](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/build/profile/installedplatforminfo.md) 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:

* Windows: `4e3c793746204150860bf175a9a41a05`
* macOS: `0d2129357eac403d8b359c2dcbf82502`
* Linux: `cb423bfea44b4d658edb8bc5d91a3024`
* Windows Server: `8d1e1bca926649cba89d37a4c66e8b3d`
* macOS Server: `8659dec1db6b4fac86149f99f2fa4291`
* Linux Server: `91d938b35f6f4798811e41f2acf9377f`
* Android: `b9b35072a6f44c2e863f17467ea3dc13`

* Android XR: `a71389c8cc8e4edc99d30db86d62ee8f`

The following example logs the display name and GUID of every installed platform.

```csharp
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.

```csharp
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.");
    }
}
```
