Restrict Unity UI to an iPhone X or other Mobile Device's Safe Area

PinToSafeArea.cs

/// <summary>
/// Resizes a UI element with a RectTransform to respect the safe areas of the current device.
/// This is particularly useful on an iPhone X, where we have to avoid the notch and the screen
/// corners.
/// 
/// The easiest way to use it is to create a root Canvas object, attach this script to a game object called "SafeAreaContainer"
/// that is the child of the root canvas, and then layout the UI elements within the SafeAreaContainer, which
/// will adjust size appropriately for the current device./// </summary>
