SafariViewController in Landscape Mode

Question

i have a ViewController that is only in Portrait mode. It presents a SafariViewController. Is it possible to change the orientation of the SafariViewController to Landscape maintaining the Portrait for the ViewController?

Answer 1

This works with Swift 4.2. You have to add this method in your viewController to maintain portrait orientation

override var supportedInterfaceOrientations:UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
}

and you also must declare

let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate

Also in your AppDelegate you have to add

var myOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask = .portrait

func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return myOrientation
}

and this when you are creating the SFSafariViewController

let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    appDelegate.myOrientation = .all
