    Hi,
    currently there is no logic or GUI for selecting the target group based on defines (neat idea though) but you can do pretty much anything programmatically (the full source code is included).

    To change the used group all you have to do is change the "CurrentGroup" property in "ExcludeFromBuildData". It's a Scriptable Object located under the path defined in "ExcludeFromBuildData.DataFilePath" (aka "Assets/ExcludeFromBuildData.asset").

    I hope that answers your question.
    I'd be interested in your results. Maybe this is something I could add in a future update.

    ExcludeFromBuildData and ExcludeFromBuildSettings are two files that are created and placed at the root location of my project. Is it normal and is there a way to tell it to put these files elsewhere? As soon as I moved them they were immediately recreated. I try to keep the root structure clean.

    @Starbox : Good question. I have replied in the original thread here. TLDR: You'll have to edit the source code but it's pretty easy to do. I'll be looking to change this in future releases :)

    Hello, I am also suprised this feature is non existent. This would help with multiplatform apps in single project soo much that Its really hard to understand why its not part of the build system.

    Especially that system for folders whitelisting for build purposes is not anything complicated.
