Apple released new API which is replaced with setValue:forKey:"orientation". And it's quite easy to use.

iOS apps can now request rotation using [UIWindowScene requestGeometryUpdate:errorHandler:] and providing a UIWindowSceneGeometryPreferencesIOS object containing the desired orientations. (95229615)

this works for me

    let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene   windowScene?.requestGeometryUpdate(.iOS(interfaceOrientations: .portrait))

But what I cannot get it to do is to honour that rotation change afterwards.        I've tried    .setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations()

but supportedInterfaceOrientations is ignored.
