    I have a Unity Android prototype app I'm developing that uses a USB accessory.
    How do you request permissions for USB device access? I know how it's done in a vanilla Android app, but how do you make a request from the Unity side?

    https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Android.Permission.html

    USB Host seems to be missing from the documentation.

    You might need to add an AndroidManifest.xml with the necessary permission to the correct spot in your project.

    Ok. I wasn't thinking about the AndroidManifest when it comes to Android deployment directly from Unity. I'll have to look into that.
