Lock Orientation not working in xamarin forms

[darrenmcgrath]

For me on iOS I had to manually edit the Info.plist as the Manifest editor was not updating it correctly
See below for locking iphone and ipad to portrait

<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
	<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
</array>
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>
<array>
	<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
	<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
</array>

Ok, I will check and report results in the near time.

@arjun159, @gmwilhelm please check version 1.0.5.

For Xamarin.Forms iOS look at this: https://github.com/wcoder/Xamarin.Plugin.DeviceOrientation#xamarinforms-ios

[wcoder]

Could you please clarify for Android / iOS / UWP?

[gmwilhelm]

I see this too, on iOS

[wcoder]

Do you use the code for iOS Specific Support?

I don't have a ViewController in Xamarin.Forms on iOS.

I'm trying like this in my code-behind of my xaml page:

 public partial class MyLockedPage : ContentPage
    {
        public MyLockedPage ()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            CrossDeviceOrientation.Current.LockOrientation(Plugin.DeviceOrientation.Abstractions.DeviceOrientations.Portrait);
        }
    }

we are facing a weird issue with xamarin forms ios orientation.

while implementing the xamarin community toolkit we are facing the orientation issue in ios.

In android, it is working fine but in ios the tool kit tab view is messed up.

Any solution?
