well, apparently Sidecar does not support portrait mode. The app could be modified to create a portrait aspect ratio that fits Sidecar but it will not work if the sidecar display itself can't be rotated. :( |

Ah, so there is no way to ‘trick it’ then by having the dummy rotate? That’s a bummer. Well, hopefully Apple will allow a portrait rotation for sidecar in the future! |

There seems to be no documented way. There were some undocumented methods to rotate the display (if it is supported by the display) but it stopped working a while ago. But we might have to look harder. Interestingly SideCar reports itself as Rotation: Supported (as well as other Virtual Displays) but the option is not exposed for it under Displays

Until Apple starts supporting portrait iPad modes, this will not be fixed. No reason to keep this issue open here. I'll convert this into to a discussion. |

This could be made possible (I actually tried it it works but needs a nicer frontend to set-up). |

The added support for newer iPads is amazing. The 11" iPad Pro at 1393x973 is much better than 1194x834 for sidecar. I think that support for vertical rotation would be really excellent—it would make the iPad perfect for having an extra PDF open on the side.
(Also, it might be worth noting that I briefly tried the vertical 12:16 resolution on a previous version of BetterDummy. But I could not get it to display vertically on my iPad; it only displayed horizontally with very large black bars on the side.)
