This section will help set up your Mac for iOS development from Unity for iPhones. The requirements are not specific to virtual reality; these are the same steps required by anyone building any iOS app from Unity. The process is also well documented elsewhere, including the Unity documentation at https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/iphone-GettingStarted.html.
A requirement of Apple's closed ecosystem is you must use a Mac as your development machine to develop for iOS. That’s just the way it is. The upside is the setup process is very straightforward.
At the time of writing, the only VR apps that will run on iOS are Google Cardboard.
The steps include:
- Have an Apple ID
- Install Xcode
- Configure the Unity Player Settings for iOS
- Build And Run
OK, let's take a bite of this apple.
