Android Export Guide

This takes you to the "Export for Mobile or Desktop" page. Here you will complete the fields and options to begin building your .apk file.

You will see the name of your game listed, in the example shown it’s "Star Trail". Your game requires an app id. This should be a reverse-domain style string. In this example, for the game Star Trail it would be: io.playhouse.startrail as playhouse.io is the domain of the developer’s website.

From the Platform dropdown menu select "android".

Your game also requires an icon image, this will be the graphic that displays on your phone you tap to launch your game.

Icon image Size: 512px x 512px

Save your icon as either a .jpg or .png file. Once uploaded the name of your icon will appear next to the "Choose file" button. In the example the icon name is: "icon-star-trail.jpg"

Many artists use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to create their graphics which are part of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

Screen orientation
There are 3 options for screen orientation once your game:

• Auto-rotate - Detects the orientation of your canvas
• Portrait only - Forces the game to be played portrait
• Landscape only - Forces the game to be played landscape

Once you have completed the above steps you are now ready to press the "Start Build" button.
