This is an often asked question, but I just have a partial answer so far.
There are some views (not all) that I need to present in Portrait only when running on iPhone.
If I come from a TabBar, I just add the following code in the TabBar controller
override open var supportedInterfaceOrientations : UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
if UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .phone {
return [.portrait, .portraitUpsideDown]
}
}
But I need to do the same when I get to the destination VC by a segue fired from a plain UIViewController or a Cell in a TableView.
If I put the code in the destination controller, it has no effect.
If I put in the originating VC, it works when segue is triggered from code (case 2 below).
But I cannot make it work when segue is triggered in storyboard from the accessory action in the cell of the TableView.
Where should I declare the supportedInterfaceOrientations ?
- Should I do it in the navigation root ? If so, how ?
- I tried in an extension UINavigationController, to no avail.
- or should I trigger the segue from accessory, not directly in storyboard but through an IBAction in code ?
If that may help, an overview of storyboard setup:
Also tried solution described here to no avail either: https://www.appsdeveloperblog.com/disable-rotation-of-uiviewcontroller-embedded-into-uinavigationcontroller/
