    The Cloud Build webpage doesn't recognise my iPad Pro 11 (the one that doesn't have a 4:3 aspect ratio) as an iOS device, so I'm unable to detect the device or install builds. All it will let me do is download an IPA, like you can when browsing on a Mac.

    The iPad is running the public version of iOS 13.1.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    In your iPad go to Settings -> Safari -> Request Desktop Website -> All websites and disable that setting - I'm guessing you can do that on a site-by-site basis also so you could just do it for unity3d.com.

    Basically how "Request Desktop Website" works is by lying to websites, declaring that the iPad is actually a MacBook. Naturally, you can't install IPAs on a MacBook. Kind of a dumb hack by Apple imo but I can see how they were forced into a corner when trying to implement this feature.
