Is Screen.Orientation always portrait in Debug Mode?

Hello,

I'm making an app game for iOS and Android. I have an if statement to make sure the HUD looks good while in portrait mode and landscape mode.

 if (Screen.orientation == ScreenOrientation.Landscape)

and

 if (Screen.orientation == ScreenOrientation.Portrait)

If I debug the screen orientation:

 Debug.Log("Screen orentation is: " + Screen.orientation);

It always says it's in portrait. I have set it to auto rotation in player settings. The screen does switch when I turn the iPad or Nexus phone. But it's always in portrait.

Is this because it's the standard mode while debugging? I have the aspect set to: "Free Aspect" as there is no option for "Remote" while working with an iPad.

Thanks
