Return to the editor and its local project

- Read Console errors and warnings
- Review build settings and progress
Use Unity on iPad
An iPad gives the Scene view, hierarchy, and inspector more room. Use it to inspect the local project while the Mac retains its packages and platform tools.
How to get Unity on your iPhone or iPad
- Open Unity on your Mac and install the free Apperture Mac host.
- Get Apperture on your iPhone or iPad, then pair with your Mac using its QR code.
- Connect to your Mac and choose the Unity window. Use landscape orientation for more room.

Can I use Unity on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Unity from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Unity installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
The Unity Editor and builds run on your Mac. Remote viewing is useful for checks and review; performance testing and responsive gameplay need the intended local test environment. Unity product information.
