Build Configuration Android Build Settings In Project Settings > Platforms > Android :
Minimum SDK Version: 29 Target SDK Version: 32 (or higher) Target Architectures: arm64 Graphics API: Vulkan (remove OpenGL ES)
Required Permissions The following Android permissions are requested automatically:
Permission Purpose RECORD_AUDIOMicrophone capture WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGESave recordings (API < 29) READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGEAccess saved recordings (API < 29)
On Android 10+ (API 29+), scoped storage is used and external storage permissions are not required for saving to the Movies folder.
