  • Build your project to IOS from Unity Game Engine:

Open the xcodeproj file in Xcode that Unity Generated when you built it to IOS.

Once you open your xcodeproj file in Xcode, go to Window>Devices and Simulators.

This window is where you will find your device identifier.

Paste the identifier in your apple developer portal to add your device.
