iOS 16 has serious bugs in UIKit without any known workarounds, so much that I had to remove my app from sale. Obviously I am affected and am desperate to know if anyone has found any workaround or if UIKit Engineers can tell me any workarounds.
To summarise, the issue is calling setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations shortly (within 0.5 seconds) after app launch doesn't trigger autorotation. It does trigger autorotation when the device is launched from the debugger but not when the app is launched directly. Maybe the debugger incurs some delay that is perhaps sufficient to trigger autorotation? I have filed FB11516363 but need a workaround desperately so as to get my app back on AppStore.
