iOS 17 Force Screen Rotation not working on iPAD only

Question

I have followed all the links on Google and StackOverFlow, unfortunately, I could not find any reliable solution Specifically for iPad devices.

I am using the sample code from Kodeco UISplitViewController. You can download the source code from here and add a UIButton.

I added a Button and added a code for WindowScene RequestGeometryUpdate function.

So, please I need help to Rotate iPad Screen when Pressed on Button. I have attached Error Console Message when pressed on a Button.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

@IBAction func btnSelector(_ sender: Any) {
    self.rotateToLandsScapeDevice()
}

func rotateToLandsScapeDevice(){
                                
    let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene
    if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
        windowScene?.requestGeometryUpdate(.iOS(interfaceOrientations: .landscapeLeft), errorHandler: { error in
            print("Error", error)
        })
        self.setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations()
    } else {
        // Fallback on earlier versions
        UIDevice.current.setValue(UIInterfaceOrientation.landscapeLeft.rawValue, forKey: "orientation")
        UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(true)
    }

}

Error Console Message

Error Domain=UISceneErrorDomain Code=101 "The current windowing mode 
does not allow for programmatic changes to interface orientation." 
UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The current windowing 
mode does not allow for programmatic changes to interface orientation.}

Answer 1

Try to add "Supported interface orientations (iPhone)" and set the item to "Portrait (bottom home button)" in your info.plist file like that

Answer 2

Your code looks fine. It seems like there is conflict between Upside Down and Landscape here. In Info tab, unchecking the iPad Orientation state Upside Down could fix the problem.
