iOS Player settings

This page details the Player settings specific to iOSApple’s mobile operating system. More info
See in Glossary. For a description of general Player settings that apply to all platforms, see Player - General settings.

Note: Unity requires iOS 10.0 or higher, and doesn’t support earlier versions.

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

• Icon
• Resolution and Presentation
• Splash Image
• Debugging and crash reporting
• Other Settings
• XR Settings

Icon

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

You can upload and assign these types of custom icons for each iOS device (iPhone, iPad):

Icon type	Where it displays
Application icons	Main icons for your app
Spotlight icons	Spotlight search results for your app
Settings icons	Device’s main Settings page
Notification icons	Notifications sent from your app
Marketing icons	App Store

All icons you upload are Texture 2D-type Assets. If an icon Texture is missing, Unity scales the icon Texture with the nearest size, with a preference towards using larger Textures.

Resolution and presentation

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

These settings are split into the following categories:

• Resolution Scaling
• Orientation
• Allowed Orientations for Auto Rotation
• Multitasking Support
• Status Bar

Resolution Scaling

Use the Resolution Scaling Mode setting to set the scaling to be equal to or below the native screen resolution:

Value	Function
Disabled	Scaling doesn’t apply and the application renders to its native screen resolution.
FixedDPI	When you select this value, the Target DPI property appears. Use the Target DPI property to 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. This helps you optimize performance and battery life. You can also use it to target a specific DPI setting. Unity calculates the scale as min(Target DPI * Factor / Screen DPI, 1). The Factor uses the Resolution Scaling Fixed DPI Factor value you enter in the Quality settings.

Orientation

Choose the game’s screen orientation from the Default Orientation drop-down menu. The default setting is Auto Rotation. If selected, this setting causes the screen to rotate with device orientation.

Select a different setting to determine a fixed location for where the Home button appears on the screen:

Setting	Home button position
Portrait	Bottom
Portrait Upside Down	Top
Landscape Left	Right side
Landscape Right	Left side.
Auto Rotation	Screen orientation changes with device orientation. This is the default.

Note: The Default Orientation setting applies to both iOS and Android devices.

When you select Auto Rotation as the Default Orientation, these settings appear:

Setting	Function
Use Animated Autorotation	If you enable this check box, when the user rotates the device, screen rotation uses an animated transition. Otherwise, screen rotation changes instantly.
Allowed Orientations for Auto Rotation	Auto Rotation changes screen orientation to match the device. You might want to limit the screen orientations allowed (for example, locking a device to landscape). Enable each orientation you want to allow by checking its box in this section.

Multitasking Support

Enable the Requires Fullscreen option if your application needs to run in full screen mode.

Status Bar

Use the Status Bar section to specify parameters related to the iOS status bar.

Setting	Function
Status Bar Hidden	Enable this option to hide the status bar when your application launches.
Status Bar Style	Define the style of the status bar when the application launches. The options are Default and Light.
Disable Depth and Stencil	Enable this option to disable the depth and stencil buffersA memory store that holds an 8-bit per-pixel value. In Unity, you can use a stencil buffer to flag pixels, and then only render to pixels that pass the stencil operation. More info See in Glossary. This setting applies both Android and iOS.
Render Over Native UI	Enable this option to force your app to render on top of the native iOS or Android UI(User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. More info See in Glossary. This setting applies both Android and iOS.
Show Loading Indicator	Select how the loading indicator appears. The options are Large, Inverse Large, Small, and Inverse Small.

Splash image

Use the Splash Image section to customize your app’s splash image for different iOS-supported devices.

The Virtual RealityA system that immerses users in an artificial 3D world of realistic images and sounds, using a headset and motion tracking. More info
See in Glossary Splash Image setting, located above the common Splash Screen settings, allows you to select a custom splash image for Virtual Reality displays.

The Use Storyboard for Launch option, located below the common Splash Screen settings, toggles between the Custom Storyboard button and individual launch screen selection.

Custom storyboards

When you enable the Use Storyboard for Launch Screen checkbox, the Custom Storyboard button appears.

Click the Custom Storyboard button to select a storyboard to show when your game starts up on the device. For your storyboard to appear here, you must first create the storyboard in Xcode and copy it to your Project. For more information, see Apple developer documentation about storyboards, scenes, and connections.

When you disable the Use Storyboard for Launch Screen checkbox, you can implement splash images with one of these methods:

• Launch screens
• Legacy launch images

Note: Apple no longer supports Launch Images. Unity has removed all settings related to Launch Images in 2019.4 and newer versions.

Launch Screens

A launch screen is a Storyboard file from which iOS creates a splash screen on the device. It has the following limitations:

• You can’t display different content based on device orientation for iPads.
• All iPhones support landscape launch screens, but certain iOS versions show the Landscape Left launch screen instead of the Landscape Right one due to a bug.
• Before iOS 13, it was impossible to override the root view controller for a storyboard, so the launch screen supports all orientations and ignores some UI settings, like status bar behavior. Starting with iOS 13, launch screen is fully compliant with your app’s settings for orientation and status bar appearance.

These limitations also apply to custom storyboards.

Select the Launch screen type for iPhone and iPad in the the iPhone Launch Screen and iPad Launch Screen sections:

Value		Function
Default		When you select this option, Unity adds a solid blue-black image that’s the same color as the background for Unity’s default splash screen. The image is used for both portrait and landscape orientations, and displays using aspect-fill mode.
None		When you select this option, the Xcode project that Unity generates doesn’t contain an XIB file.
Image and background (relative size)		Displays an image in the center of the screen and fills the remaining area with a solid color.
	Portrait Image	Select an image for portrait orientation.
	Landscape Image	Select an image for landscape orientation.
	Background Color	Select a background color to fill any screen space that the image doesn’t cover.
	Fill percentage	Specify image size as a percentage of the screen size. Unity calculates image size based on the length or width of the screen, whichever one is smaller (vertical for landscape displays, horizontal for portrait ones).
Image and background (constant size)		Displays an image in the center of the screen and fills the area with a solid color. This has the same options as Image and background (relative size), except that you specify image size in points rather than as a percentage. Tip: Points and pixels are not the same. A pixel (px) is a single dot in your image. A point (pt) is a unit of length that measures 1/72th of an inch. Pixel sizes are relative to the screen size and resolution, while point sizes are the size on any screen. For more information, see W3C guidance on size units.
Custom XIB		When you select this option, the Custom XIB button appears. Click the button to select a custom XIB file to use as a loading screen.

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

Debugging and crash reporting

Use the Debugging and crash reporting settings to gather data about your app’s performance and troubleshoot crashes.

Setting	Function
Enable Internal Profiler (Deprecated)	This feature is deprecated and will be retired in a future version of Unity. Use the Profiler window instead (menu: Window > Analytics > Profiler). The Profiler collects application performance data and prints a report to the console. The report contains the number of milliseconds each Unity subsystem takes to execute on each frame, averaged across 30 frames.
On .Net UnhandledException	Select the action Unity takes when a .NET unhandled exception occurs. The options are Crash (the app crashes and generates a crash report, which users can submit to iTunes and developers can use to troubleshoot the crash), or Silent Exit (the application exits with no errors and doesn’t generate a crash report).
Log Obj-C Uncaught Exceptions	When you enable this action, Unity prints Objective-C Uncaught Exception information to the console.
Enable Crash Report API	Enables a custom crash reporter to capture crashes. You can use 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 See in Glossary to access crash logs via the CrashReport API.

Other settings

You can configure a range of Player settingsSettings that let you set various player-specific options for the final game built by Unity. More info
See in Glossary in the Other Settings section. These options are organized into the following groups:

• RenderingThe process of drawing graphics to the screen (or to a render texture). By default, the main camera in Unity renders its view to the screen. More info
  See in Glossary
• Identification
• Configuration
• Optimization
• Logging
• Legacy

Rendering

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

Setting		Function
Color Space		Choose which color space Unity uses 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. This option is enabled by default, and includes Metal. You can also add OpenGLES2 and OpenGLES3 as a fallback for devices that don’t support Metal; however, both of these options are deprecated and should no longer be used.
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 Shader iteration for targeting the Metal API. Note: Checking or unchecking this option requires you to restart the Editor before the changes take effect.
Metal API Validation		Enable this option when you need to debug Shader issues. This option only displays if the Metal Editor Support checkbox is selected. 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 improves 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 your app’s 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. On other platforms, Render Textures are read/write protected and stored in CPU or GPU memory.
	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. For more information, see Draw call 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 (enabled by default). For more information, see Draw call batching. Note: Dynamic batching has no effect when a Scriptable Render Pipeline is active, so this setting is only visible if the Scriptable Render Pipeline Asset Graphics setting is blank.
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 reduces the time spent in Camera.Render on the main thread, which is often a bottleneck. Note: This feature is experimental. It might not deliver a performance improvement for your Project, and might 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 lightmapA 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 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 lightmaps.
Lightmap Streaming Enabled		Whether to use Mipmap Streaming for lightmaps. Unity applies this setting to all lightmaps when it generates them. Note: To use this setting, you must enable the Texture Streaming Quality setting.
Streaming Priority		Set the priority for all lightmaps in the Mipmap Streaming system. Unity applies this setting to all lightmaps when it generates them. 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

Enter identifying information for your app.

Setting	Function
Bundle Identifier	Enter the provisioning profile of the application you are building. The basic structure of the identifier is com.CompanyName.ProductName. This structure might vary based on which country you live in, so always default to the string Apple provides to you for your Developer Account. Your ProductName is set up in your provisioning certificates. This value appears as CFBundleIdentifier in the associated info.plist file. For more information, see the Apple developer documentation on CFBundleIdentifier. Note: This setting affects iOS, tvOS, and Android.
Version	Enter the release-version-number string for the bundle (for example, 4.3.6). This value appears as CFBundleShortVersionString in the associated info.plist file. For more information, see Apple developer documentation on CFBundleShortVersionString.
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 value appears as CFBundleVersion in the associated info.plist file. For more information, see Apple developer documentation on CFBundleVersion.
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 Build and Run functionality. You must enter an Apple Developer Team ID for automatic signing of your app. For more information, see the Apple developer documentation on Creating Your Team Provisioning Profile.
Automatically Sign	Enable this option to instruct Xcode to automatically sign your build.

• B: Apple-specific information
• C: Device information
• D: Variant map for app slicing
• E: Other configuration settings

API configuration settings

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 defaults to IL2CPP for iOS and can’t be changed. 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. For more information, see documentation on 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. C++ code generated by the IL2CPP scripting backend can be updated incrementally, which allows incremental C++ build systems to compile only the changed 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 third-party libraries. However, it has no effect on Editor-specific code (code in an Editor directory, or within an Editor-specific Assembly Definition). Tip: If you’re having problems with a third-party assembly, you can try the suggestions in the API Compatibility Level section below.
	.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 some of the additional APIs available might not be supported on all platforms. For more information, see documentation on Referencing additional class library assemblies.
C++ Compiler Configuration		The C++ compiler configuration used when compiling IL2CPP generated code. This setting defaults to Release for iOS and can’t be changed.
Use incremental GC		Use the incremental garbage collector, which spreads garbage collection over several frames to reduce garbage collection-related spikes in frame duration. For more information, see documentation on Automatic Memory Management.

API Compatibility Level

You can choose your mono API compatibility level for all targets. Sometimes a third-party .NET library uses functionality that is outside of your .NET compatibility level. If you’re on Windows, you can use the third-party software ILSpy to understand what’s happening and how to fix it. Follow these steps:

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

Apple-specific information

Setting	Function
Camera Usage Description	Enter the reason for accessing the cameraA component which creates an image of a particular viewpoint in your scene. The output is either drawn to the screen or captured as a texture. More info See in Glossary on the iOS device.

	Universal	Support all architectures. This is the recommended option.
	Armv7	Support only the older 32-bit ARM architecture.
	Arm64	Support only the newer 64-bit ARM architecture. You might want to consider selecting this option if your app is only for high-end devices.
Scripting Define Symbols		Set custom compilation flags. For more details, see Platform dependent compilation.
Allow ‘unsafe’ Code		Enable support for compiling ‘unsafe’ C# code in a pre-defined assembly (for example, Assembly-CSharp.dll). For Assembly Definition Files (.asmdef), click on one of your .asmdef files and enable the option in that file’s Inspector window.
Active Input Handling		Choose how you want to handle input from users.
	Input Manager (Old)	Use the traditional Input settings.
	Input System (New)	Use the new Input system. The Input System is provided as a preview packageA preview package is in development and not yet ready for production. A package in preview might be at any stage of development, from the initial stages to near completion. See in Glossary for this release. To try a preview of the Input System, install the InputSystem package.
	Both	Use both systems side by side.

Optimization

Setting		Function
Prebake Collision Meshes		Enable this option to add collisionA collision occurs when the physics engine detects that the colliders of two GameObjects make contact or overlap, when at least one has a Rigidbody component and is in motion. More info See in Glossary data to Meshes at build time.
Keep Loaded ShadersA program that runs on the GPU. More info See in Glossary 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, 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 option if you want the Unity Linker tool to remove code for Unity Engine features that your Project doesn’t use. This setting is only available with the IL2CPP scripting backend. Most apps don’t use every available DLL. This option strips out DLLs that your app doesn’t use to reduce the size of the built Player. If your app is using one or more classes that would normally be stripped out under your current settings, Unity displays a debug message when you try to build the app.
Managed Stripping Level		Choose how aggressively Unity strips unused managed (C#) code. When Unity builds your app, the Unity Linker process can strip unused code from the managed DLLs your Project uses. Stripping code can make the resulting executable significantly smaller, but can sometimes accidentally remove code that is in use. This setting allows you to choose how aggressively Unity should remove unused code. The options available are Disabled, Low, Medium, and High. For more information about these options, see documentation on Managed code stripping. For information about bytecode stripping with IL2CPP, see documentation on Managed bytecode stripping with IL2CPP.
Script Call Optimization		Choose how to optionally disable exception handling for a speed boost at run time. For more information, see iOS Optimization.
	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 app runs faster when using the Mono scripting backend). Note: Using this option with the IL2CPP scripting backend doesn’t impact performance, but it might help 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. Global 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 compression settings for an imported Object override these settings.
Optimize Mesh Data		Enable this option to remove any data from Meshes that isn’t required by the Material applied to them (such as tangents, normals, colors, and UVs).

Logging

Select what type of logging to allow in specific contexts.

Check one box that corresponds to each Log Type (Error, Assert, Warning, Log, and Exception) when running scripts (ScriptOnly) , all the time (Full), or never (None).

Legacy

Enable the Clamp BlendShapes (Deprecated) option to clamp the range of Blend Shape weights in SkinnedMeshRenderers. This option has been deprecated and should no longer be used.

XR settings

Note: Built-in support for XRAn umbrella term encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) applications. Devices supporting these forms of interactive applications can be referred to as XR devices. More info
See in Glossary SDKs is deprecated and will be retired in a future version of Unity. Use the Unity XR Plug-inA set of code created outside of Unity that creates functionality in Unity. There are two kinds of plug-ins you can use in Unity: Managed plug-ins (managed .NET assemblies created with tools like Visual Studio) and Native plug-ins (platform-specific native code libraries). More info
See in Glossary System instead. For more information, see XR Plug-in Architecture.

Use the XR Settings section to configure how your app behaves in XR.

Setting		Function
Virtual Reality Supported		Enable this if your application is a virtual reality application, then add the required VR SDKs to the list.
Virtual Reality SDKs		Add and remove Virtual Reality SDKs from the list. This list is only available when the Virtual Reality Supported is enabled. - To add an SDK to the list, click the plus (+) button. - To remove an SDK from the list, select it and then click the minus (-) button. Some of the SDKs provide extra settings that appear here.
Stereo Rendering ModeA Standard Shader Material parameter that allows you to choose whether the object uses transparency, and if so, which type of blending mode to use. More info See in Glossary		Choose how you want your app to render for a virtual reality device.
	Multi Pass	This is the normal rendering mode. Unity renders the SceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info See in Glossary twice: first to render the left-eye image, and then again for the right-eye image.
	Single Pass	Render both eye images at the same time into one packed Render TextureA special type of Texture that is created and updated at runtime. To use them, first create a new Render Texture and designate one of your Cameras to render into it. Then you can use the Render Texture in a Material just like a regular Texture. More info See in Glossary. This means that the whole Scene is only rendered once, which significantly reduces CPU processing time. This setting affects multiple platforms.
