BuildProfile.GetInstalledPlatformModules

Returns

IReadOnlyList<InstalledPlatformInfo> InstalledPlatformInfo collection.

Description

Gets a list of all installed platforms.

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.");
    }
}
