Portrait orientation problem

[cagysek]

Hi,

my app only supports portrait orientation, but if I close the fullscreen player from landscape orientation, the app switches to landscape orientation and then to portrait orientation. Is there any way to prevent this?

Environment

• Xcode 14.2
• YouTubePlayerKit version 1.3
• Example code from usage + only iPhone portrait orientation in deployment information

Expected behaviour

• App in portrait orientation -> open fullscreen and enable landscape orientation on video -> after closing fullscreen the app stays in portrait orientation

Why I need this

• In another app I use GeometryReader for animations and switch to landscape after close fullscreen breaks view

Demo with slow animations

Untitled.mp4

Thanks for any help

Hi @cagysek

Thanks for your bug report!
Sadly there is no direct way in preventing or adjusting this behavior as the fullscreen button is displayed and controlled by the underlying YouTubePlayer iFrame JavaScript API. In addition, the presented AVPlayerViewController is managed by the WKWebView instance which also doesn't allow any kind of additional customization e.g. supported interface orientation.
