Impacted Users

iOS apps running iOS 16+ that should be locked to portrait.

Impact Description

Workaround

None AFAIK

Risk

low

Test Coverage

yes

Validation Steps

1. flutter create app

2. Open it in XCode, check "Requires Full Screen"
   

3. Add the following to main.dart

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  SystemChrome.setPreferredOrientations([
    DeviceOrientation.portraitUp,
  ]);
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

5. Launch App on any iPad running iOS 16+
6. Check if orientation is locked (Landscape not possible)
