    I'm using only the native cardboard sdk with Unity 2017.1.0b9 and building my app for iOS. I used to change FoV when using google vr sdk by changing values in StereoController.

    But since I started using native sdk, there is no stereocontroller and changing FoV in camera component doesn't work. Is there any way to change FoV in native sdk?

    not a 100% sure but isn't that what the Google VR profile is for?
    the FoV is normally fitted for the cardboard itself.
    look up Google VR Profile there should be a generator with advanced params that is about the FoV

    I'm not entirely sure either but I believe VR profile is for things like distance between lenses (or your eyes?) and their distance to your phone. I would like to change camera FOV dynamically in the game.

    changing it dynamically is not possible as far as I know. This is because the VRSettings / VR SDK is locking the FoV value. (if anyone thinks I'm wrong please correct me)
