Modify Xcode Project Settings<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Build Your Project:<\/strong> Export your Unity project for iOS. Unity creates an Xcode project file.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open Xcode:<\/strong> Open the generated project in Xcode.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set Orientation Support:<\/strong> Go to the <em>General<\/em> tab for your main target and check the <em>Device Orientation<\/em> settings. Make sure the orientations align with what you selected in Unity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3.
