Does anyone have an up to date video or document link that explains how to set up game maker for android/phone. I don't want to build something and then have issues with configurations.

It said the path to android sdk cannot be found when we try to open what we built in demo in the licensed gamemaker. Are we required to have an sdk device to run, build and publish?

If it's saying SDK cannot be found, then it can't find the SDK at the path you have pointed it to.

The guide I linked you to above goes through the setup of all of this, as well as setting up AVDs so you can test without a device.

If you have not purchased a Mobile licence then you won't be able to export to Android, and if you are using the free trial then you won't be able to export at all as that is a feature only available in paid versions.

It does mention this in the Setup Guide, but make sure you are using the correct versions of each required component (Android Studio, SDK, NDK, JDK etc) as listed in the Required SDKs Article as just grabbing the most recent versions of things can cause problems.
