Please refer to Table 1.8 about the available build targets on Windows and macOS platforms. To make it simple, we will build and test Windows and Android on the Windows platform. For iOS and macOS builds, we will do it on the macOS platform.
Once we are ready, we can build and debug our app.
Let’s build and test on the Windows platform first. We can choose a framework that we want to run or debug, as shown in Figure 2.6:

- Open the Start menu.
