+### Step 10: Run the Project
 
 1. Select the device that you want to run your app on. **Please note that you will require a physical device to run the application on.** If you run the app on a simulator, you will experience some errors at runtime as a physical camera component is required. *If you have an M1 Macbook (or a later model) you can run the app on your Macbook directly as it has the same architecture as your iPhone/iPad.*
 2. Run the project, then your app will be installed on your device.
