    Hello Developers,

    Is there a reason on Win Phone 8.1 I cannot set the orientation in the build options?

    I do want to thank you for a very different icon/splash screen selection screen which also is not smart enough to know if I select only Win Phone 8.1 don't want to see Windows Tiles etc.

    Oh life is hard sometimes...

    There is a option in Visual Studio but not within Unity3d, not sure for the reason, there is a star says shared across multiple platforms but this does not mean anything to me.

    Also this links to my other thread about splash screen orientation issues

    Only in Visual Studio from memory?

    In Unity, theres no Windows Phone 8.1... its just windows phone (although I havnt looked at it for a week or so, so now im questioning this myself).

    I build my game for 8, which is supported by 8.1

    Windows 8.1 orientation options are configured in Package.appxmanifest in the Visual Studio project after you've built from Unity. There must have been some strange restriction that prevented Unity from exposing this for us in the inspector.
