If your app doesn't need the system keyboard, our recommendation is to use D3D so that your app uses slightly less memory and a faster launch time. However, if you're using the system keyboard through the TouchScreenKeyboard API, you need to export the project as XAML.

How to export from Unity

Return to the Build Settings dialog. In the Windows Explorer dialog that appears, create a new folder to hold Unity's build output. Generally, we name the folder 'App'. Select the newly created folder and select Select Folder. Once Unity has finished building, a Windows Explorer window will open to the project root directory. Having x8664 code is not sufficient to distinguish if a binary is intended for the iOS Simulator, a macOS app, or a Mac Catalyst app. Combing built binaries across different destinations (which includes the simulator vs. Device binaries) is not a supported combination - there is no Apple platform where ARM code and x8664 code in the same binary is a correct configuration. The app was coming from another Mac. The second time, the executable file inside the Contents/MacOS subfolder of the app was not. The app was coming from a Windows Unity. A 'chmod 755' on the problematic file or folder, using a terminal, may resolve your problem.

14. Open the generated Visual Studio solution file located inside this folder.

When to re-export from Unity

Checking the C# Projects checkbox when exporting your app from Unity creates a Visual Studio solution that includes all your Unity script files. Having all your scripts in one place lets you iterate without re-exporting from Unity. However, if you make changes to your project that aren't just changing the contents of scripts, you'll need to re-export from Unity. Some examples of times you need to re-export from Unity are:

• You add or remove assets in the Project tab.
• You change any value in the Inspector tab.
• You add or remove objects from the Hierarchy tab.
• You change any Unity project settings

Building and deploying a Unity Visual Studio solution

The remainder of building and deploying apps happens in Visual Studio. You will need to specify a Unity build configuration. Unity's naming conventions may differ from what you're used to in Visual Studio:

Note, the above list is a subset of the common triggers that will cause the Visual Studio project to need to be generated. In general, editing .cs files from within Visual Studio won't require the project to be regenerated from within Unity.

If you find that edits to your .cs files aren't being recognized in your Visual Studio project, ensure that Unity C# Projects is checked when you generate the VS project from Unity's Build menu.
