    I feel like I've seen this discussed somewhere already but I can't find the thread now...

    I select "Landscape Right" and "Landscape Left" in Unity's player settings, build the game as a Universal 8.1 Windows Store app, and confirm in Package.appxmanifest that only "Landscape" and "Landscape-flipped" are checked. But when I test on a device and rotate the screen to portrait mode the game rotates with it.

    I've also tried adding this in MainPage's OnNavigatedTo:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. DisplayInformation.AutoRotationPreferences = DisplayOrientations.Landscape | DisplayOrientations.LandscapeFlipped;
    I know there are orientation issues and limitations with the splash screen but I'm having this issue with the game itself.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm using Unity 5.2.0f3 and VS Community 2015.

    Good to know it's not just me. :)

    Hope this is fixed soon. I can't release my game with a broken portrait mode.

    Yes, it is a bug.
    There is a workaround however: call the code from the first post in this thread after Unity is initialized (say Awake method in script of your first scene).
