You can find documentation for the properties in the following sections:

Icon

Use the Icon settings to customize the branding for your app on the Apple Store.

Note: If any icon textures are omitted, the icon texture with the nearest size is scaled accordingly (with a preference towards larger resolution textures).

Setting Function
Application icons Assign the custom icon that you would like to appear on your app for each iOS device.
Spotlight icons Assign the custom icon that you would like to appear in the Spotlight search results for your game for each iOS device.
Settings icons Assign the custom icon that you would like to appear on the phone’s main Settings page for each iOS device.
Notification icons Assign the custom icon that you would like to appear when sending notifications from your game for each iOS device.
Marketing icons Assign the custom icon that you would like to appear for your game in the App Store for each iOS device.

Resolution and Presentation

Use the Resolution and Presentation section to customize aspects of the screen’s appearance:

Resolution Scaling

Resolution Scaling player settings for the iOS platform
Resolution Scaling player settings for the iOS platform

The Resolution Scaling Mode allows you to set the scaling to be equal to or below the native screen resolution:

Value Function
FixedDPI Allows you to scale the device’s screen resolution below its native resolution and show the Target DPI property. Use this to optimize performance and battery life or target a specific DPI setting.
Disabled Ensures that scaling is not applied and the game renders to its native screen resolution.

Set the Target DPI of the game screen. Unity downscales the game screen to match this setting if the device’s native screen DPI is higher than this value. The scale is calculated as min(Target DPI * Factor / Screen DPI, 1). The Factor is controlled by the Resolution Scaling Fixed DPI Factor on the Quality settings.

Note: This option only appears when the Resolution Scaling Mode is set to Fixed DPI.

Orientation

Choose the game’s screen orientation from the Default Orientation drop-down menu:

Setting Function
Portrait Home button appears at the bottom.
Portrait Upside Down Home button appears at the top.
Landscape Left Home button appears on the right side.
Landscape Right Home button appears on the left side.
Auto Rotation Screen orientation changes with device orientation. This is the default.

Note: This setting is shared between iOS and Android devices.

When you set the orientation to Auto Rotation, the Allowed Orientations for Auto Rotation section appears.

Enable the Use Animated Autorotation setting if you want orientation changes to animate the screen rotation rather than just switch. This is only visible when Default Orientation is set to Auto Rotation.

Allowed Orientations for Auto Rotation

This section is only visible when Default Orientation is set to Auto Rotation.

Launch Screens

A Launch Screen is an XIB file from which iOS creates a splash screen dynamically on the device. However, there are some limitations:

  • You can’t display different content depending on iPad device orientation.

  • All iPhones support landscape Launch Screens; however, due to a bug in iOS, Landscape Left is shown instead of Landscape Right on certain iOS versions.

Each the iPhone Launch Screen and iPad Launch Screen sections allow you to select the launch screen type from the Launch Screen type drop-down menu:

Value Function
Default A launch screen that is very much like a launch image. One image is selected for portrait and landscape. The selection order: iPhone 6+ launch images, shared mobile launch image, default Unity launch image for iPhone 6+. The images are displayed using aspect-fill mode.
None The behavior is as if only launch images are used.
Image and background (relative size) Displays a center-aligned image, with the rest of area filled with solid color. The image size is user-specified percentage of the screen size, computed in the smaller dimension (vertical on landscape, horizontal in portrait orientations). User also specifies background color and images for portrait and landscape orientations. Image selection order: the user-specified image, shared mobile launch image, default Unity launch image for iPhone 6+. The images are displayed using aspect-fill mode.
Image and background (constant size) Same as relative size option except that the size of the image is defined by user-specified number of points.
Custom XIB A user-specified XIB file from any location.

Note: With a Unity Personal subscription the Unity Splash Screen displays as soon as engine initializes, in addition to your chosen splash screen.

Legacy Launch Images

Launch Images are static splash screen images that occupy the entire screen. You can define them in an Asset catalog (Images.xcassets/LaunchImage). Always add a Launch Screen for each supported size and orientation combination:

Setting Function
Mobile Splash Screen Specifies texture which should be used for iOS Splash Screen. Standard Splash Screen size is 320x480.(This is shared between Android and iOS.)
iPhone 3.5"/Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iOS 3.5" Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 640x960.
iPhone 4"/Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iOS 4" Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 640x1136.
iPhone 4.7"/Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iOS 4.7" Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 750x1334.
iPhone 5.5"/Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iOS 5.5" Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 1242x2208.
iPhone 5.5" Landscape/Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iOS 5.5" Landscape/Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 2208x1242.
iPhone X\Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iPhone X Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 1125x2436.
iPhone X Landscape\Retina Specifies texture which should be used for iPhone X Landscape/Retina Splash Screen. Splash Screen size is 2436x1125.
iPad Portrait Specifies texture which should be used as iPad Portrait orientation Splash Screen. Standard Splash Screen size is 768x1024.
iPad Landscape Specifies texture which should be used as iPad Landscape orientation Splash Screen. Standard Splash Screen size is 1024x768.
iPad Portrait/Retina Specifies texture which should be used as the iPad Retina Portrait orientation Splash Screen. Standard Splash Screen size is 1536x2048.
iPad Landscape/Retina Specifies texture which should be used as the iPad Retina Landscape orientation Splash Screen. Standard Splash Screen size is 2048x1536.

Only iPhone 6+ supports landscape orientation; other iPhones can only use portrait.

Launch Images are selected in the following order:

  • The specific Launch Image override, if the texture is set
  • Default Unity splash screen launch image, which is a solid blue-black color

You need to set all Launch Images for your build.

Debugging and crash reporting

Debugging and crash reporting on the iOS platform

Setting Function
Enable Internal ProfilerA window that helps you to optimize your game. It shows how much time is spent in the various areas of your game. For example, it can report the percentage of time spent rendering, animating or in your game logic. More info
See in Glossary
(Deprecated)
Enables an internal profiler which collects performance data of the application and prints a report to the console. The report contains the number of milliseconds that it took for each Unity subsystem to execute on each frame. The data is averaged across 30 frames.
On .Net UnhandledException The action taken on .NET unhandled exception. The options are Crash (the application crashes hardly and forces iOS to generate a crash report that can be submitted to iTunes by app users and inspected by developers), Silent Exit (the application exits gracefully).
Log Obj-C Uncaught Exceptions Enables a custom Objective-C Uncaught Exception handler, which prints exception information to console.
Enable Crash Report API Enables a custom crash reporter to capture crashes. Crash logs are available to scriptsA piece of code that allows you to create your own Components, trigger game events, modify Component properties over time and respond to user input in any way you like. More info

Other Settings

This section allows you to customize a range of options organized into the following groups:

Rendering

Use these settings to customize how Unity renders your game for the iOS platform.

Rendering Player settings for iOS platforms
Rendering Player settings for iOS platforms
Setting Function
Color Space Choose which color space should be used for rendering: Gamma or Linear.
See the Linear rendering overview for an explanation of the difference between the two.
Auto Graphics API Disable this option to manually pick and reorder the graphics APIs. By default this option is enabled, and Unity includes Metal, and GLES2 as a fallback for devices where Metal is not supported.
Color Gamut You can add or remove color gamuts for the iOS platform to use for rendering. Click the plus (+) icon to see a list of available gamuts. A color gamut defines a possible range of colors available for a given device (such as a monitor or screen). The sRGB gamut is the default (and required) gamut.
When targeting recent iOS devices with wide color gamut displays, use DisplayP3 to utilize full display capabilities. Use Metal Editor Support as a fallback for older devices.
Metal Editor Support Enable this option to use the Metal API in the Unity Editor and unlock faster ShaderA small script that contains the mathematical calculations and algorithms for calculating the Color of each pixel rendered, based on the lighting input and the Material configuration. More info
See in Glossary
iteration for targeting the Metal API.
Metal API Validation Enable this option when you need to debug Shader issues.
Note: Validation increases CPU usage, so use it only for debugging.
Metal Write-Only Backbuffer Allow improved performance in non-default device orientation. This sets the frameBufferOnly flag on the back buffer, which prevents readback from the back buffer but enables some driver optimization.
Force hard shadows on Metal Enable this option to force Unity to use point sampling for shadows on Metal. This reduces shadow quality, which should give better performance.
Memoryless Depth Choose when to use memoryless render textures. Memoryless render textures are temporarily stored in the on-tile memory when rendered, not in CPU or GPU memory. This reduces memory usage of your app but you cannot read or write to these render textures.
Note: Memoryless render textures are only supported on iOS, tvOS 10.0+ Metal and Vulkan. Render textures are read/write protected and stored in CPU or GPU memory on other platforms.
Unused Never use memoryless framebuffer depth.
Forced Always use memoryless framebuffer depth.
Automatic Let Unity decide when to use memoryless framebuffer depth.
Multithreaded Rendering Enable this option to use multithreaded rendering.
Static BatchingA technique Unity uses to draw GameObjects on the screen that combines static (non-moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way. More info
See in Glossary
Enable this option to use Static batching.
Dynamic BatchingAn automatic Unity process which attempts to render multiple meshes as if they were a single mesh for optimized graphics performance. The technique transforms all of the GameObject vertices on the CPU and groups many similar vertices together. More info
See in Glossary
Enable this option to use Dynamic Batching on your build (enabled by default).
Note: Dynamic batching has no effect when a Scriptable Render Pipeline is active, so this setting is only visible when nothing is set in the Scriptable Render Pipeline Asset Graphics setting.
Compute Skinning Enable this option to use Metal GPU compute skinningThe process of binding bone joints to the vertices of a character’s mesh or ‘skin’. Performed with an external tool, such as Blender or Autodesk Maya. More info
See in Glossary
, which frees up CPU resources. To learn more about GPU compute skinning, see the Wikipedia page on skeletal animation.
Graphics Jobs (Experimental) Enable this option to instruct Unity to offload graphics tasks (render loops) to worker threads running on other CPU cores. This is intended to reduce the time spent in Camera.Render on the main thread, which is often a bottleneck.
Note: This feature is experimental. It may not deliver a performance improvement for your project, and may introduce instability.
Unity currently only supports Graphics Jobs when using Vulkan and this setting has no effect when using OpenGL ES.
Lightmap Encoding Choose Low Quality, Normal Quality, or High Quality to set the lightmap encoding. This setting affects the encoding scheme and compressionA method of storing data that reduces the amount of storage space it requires. See Texture Compression, Animation Compression, Audio Compression, Build Compression.
See in Glossary
format of the lightmapsA pre-rendered texture that contains the effects of light sources on static objects in the scene. Lightmaps are overlaid on top of scene geometry to create the effect of lighting. More info
See in Glossary
.
Lightmap Streaming Enabled Enable this option to load only the lightmap mipmaps as needed to render the current game Cameras. This value applies to the lightmap textures as they are generated.
Note: To use this setting, you must enable the Texture Streaming Quality setting.
Streaming Priority Set the lightmap mipmap streaming priority to resolve resource conflicts. As these values generate, Unity applies them to the light map textures.
Positive numbers give higher priority. Valid values range from –128 to 127.
Enable Frame Timing Stats Enable this option to gather CPU/GPU frame timing statistics.

Identification

Identification settings for iOS platforms
Identification settings for iOS platforms
Setting Function
Bundle Identifier Enter the provisioning profile of the game or product you are building. The basic structure of the identifier is com.CompanyName.ProductName. This structure may vary internationally based on where you live, so always default to the string provided to you by Apple for your Developer Account. Your ProductName is set up in your provisioning certificates.
This value appears as CFBundleIdentifier in the associated info.plist file. See the Apple developer documentation on CFBundleIdentifier to learn more.
Note: This is shared between iOS, tvOS and Android.
Version Enter the release-version-number string for the bundle (for example, 4.3.6). This appears as CFBundleShortVersionString in the associated info.plist file.
See the Apple developer documentation on CFBundleShortVersionString to learn more.
BuildThe process of compiling your Project into a format that is ready to run on a specific platform or platforms. More info
See in Glossary
Enter the build number for this version of your app. This appears as CFBundleVersion in the associated info.plist file.
See the Apple developer documentation on CFBundleVersion to learn more.
Signing Team ID Enter your Apple Developer Team ID. You can find this on the Apple Developer website under Xcode Help. This sets the Team ID for the generated Xcode project, allowing developers to use the Build and Run functionality. An Apple Developer Team ID must be set here for automatic signing of your app. For more information, see Creating Your Team Provisioning Profile.
Automatically Sign Enable this option to allow Xcode to automatically sign your build.

Setting Function
Scripting BackendA framework that powers scripting in Unity. Unity supports three different scripting backends depending on target platform: Mono, .NET and IL2CPP. Universal Windows Platform, however, supports only two: .NET and IL2CPP. More info
See in Glossary
The scripting backend determines how Unity compiles and executes C# code in your Project. This setting is not enabled for iOS.
Mono To use incremental builds, choose the Append option after selecting Build from the Build Settings dialog. The Replace option will perform a clean build.Compiles C# code into .NET Common Intermediate Language (CIL) and executes that CIL using a Common Language Runtime.
Warning: Mono builds are no longer accepted in the Apple App store and Mono is not supported by iOS 11 and above. Mono can only be selected when using the deprecated .NET 3.5 runtime.
IL2CPP Compiles C# code into CIL, converts the CIL to C++ and then compiles that C++ into native machine code, which executes directly at run time. See IL2CPPA Unity-developed scripting back-end which you can use as an alternative to Mono when building Projects for some platforms. More info
See in Glossary
for more information.
Tip: The C++ code generated by the IL2CPP scripting backend can be updated incrementally, allowing incremental C++ build systems to compile only the changes source files. This can significantly lower iteration times.
API Compatibility Level The compatibility level determines which .NET APIs you can use in your Project. This setting can affect compatibility with 3rd-party libraries.
Tip: If you are having problems with a third-party assembly, you can try the suggestion in the API Compatibility Level section below.
.Net 2.0 Maximum .net compatibility, biggest file sizes. Part of the deprecated .NET 3.5 runtime.
.Net 2.0 Subset Subset of full .net compatibility, smaller file sizes. Part of the deprecated .NET 3.5 runtime.
.Net Standard 2.0 Compatible with .NET Standard 2.0. Produces smaller builds and has full cross-platform support.
.Net 4.x Choose this option when using libraries that access APIs not included in .NET Standard 2.0. Compatible with the .NET Framework 4 (which includes everything in the .NET Standard 2.0 profile as well as additional APIs).
Produces larger builds and any additional APIs available are not necessarily supported on all platforms. See Referencing additional class library assemblies for more information.
C++ Compiler Configuration Choose the C++ compiler configuration used when compiling IL2CPP generated code. This setting is not enabled for iOS.
Use incremental GC Use the incremental garbage collector, which spreads garbage collection over several frames to reduce gc-related spikes in frame duration.

API Compatibility Level

You can choose your mono API compatibility level for all targets. Sometimes a 3rd-party .NET library uses functionality that is outside of your .NET compatibility level. In order to understand what is going on in such cases, and how to best fix it, try following these suggestions:

  1. Install Reflector for Windows.
  2. Drag the .NET assemblies for the API compatibility level you are having issues with into Reflector. You can find these under Frameworks/Mono/lib/mono/YOURSUBSET/.
  3. Drag in your 3rd-party assembly.
  4. Right-click your 3rd-party assembly and select Analyze.
  5. In the analysis report, inspect the Depends on section. The report highlights anything that the 3rd-party assembly depends on, but that is not available in the .NET compatibility level of your choice in red.

Apple-specific information

data to Meshes at build time.
Keep Loaded Shaders Alive Enable this option to prevent shaders from being unloaded.
Preloaded Assets Set an array of Assets for the player to load on startup.
To add new Assets, increase the value of the Size property and then set a reference to the Asset to load in the new Element box that appears.
AOT compilation options Additional options for Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation. This helps optimize the size of the built iOS player.
Strip Engine Code Enable this tool if you want the Unity Linker tool to remove code for Unity Engine features that your Project does not use. This setting is only available with the IL2CPP Scripting Backend.
Most games don’t use all necessary DLLs. With the Strip Engine Code option enabled, you can strip out unused parts to reduce the size of the built player on iOS devices. If your game is using classes that would normally be stripped out by the option you currently have selected, you’ll be presented with a Debug message when you make a build.
Managed Stripping Level Choose how aggressively Unity strips unused managed (C#) code.
When Unity builds your game or application, the Unity Linker process can strip unused code from the managed dynamically linked libraries used in the Project. Stripping code can make the resulting executable significantly smaller, but can sometimes mistakenly remove code that is actually used. This setting allows you to choose how aggressively Unity should remove unused code.
Normal Remove unreachable managed code to reduce build size and .NET/IL2CPP build times.
Aggressive Remove code more aggressively than under the normal option. Code size is further reduced, but this additional reduction may have side effects. For example, some methods may no longer be visible in the debugger and code accessed through reflection can be stripped. You can create a custom link.xml file to preserve specific classes and methods. See Managed bytecode stripping with IL2CPP for more information.
Script Call Optimization Choose how to optionally disable exception handling for a speed boost at runtime. See iOS Optimization for details.
Slow and Safe Use full exception handling (with some performance impact on the device when using the Mono scripting backend).
Fast but no Exceptions No data provided for exceptions on the device (the game runs faster when using the Mono scripting backend).
Note: Using this option with the IL2CPP Scripting Backend does not impact performance; however, using it can avoid undefined behavior on release builds.
Vertex Compression Set vertex compression per channel. For example, you can enable compression for everything except positions and lightmap UVs. Whole MeshThe main graphics primitive of Unity. Meshes make up a large part of your 3D worlds. Unity supports triangulated or Quadrangulated polygon meshes. Nurbs, Nurms, Subdiv surfaces must be converted to polygons. More info
See in Glossary
