Hi meyrick,
 
User can restrict screen rotation of iOS app by setting UIInterfaceOrientation option. User can find this option under Project > AppSettings > iOS keys section of Mobile App in Mobile App Builder. UIInterfaceOrientation option allows user to choose any one of the 4 values (UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait, UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown, UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft, UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight).
 
Hope this helps,
Sanjeev.

Hello,

In the Mobile App Builder, the Android permissions tab in App settings has a SET_ORIENTATION checkbox.

Could you try this checkbox to see the behavior?

I also notice that the AndroidManifest.xml file has a reference to screenOrientation="landscape". Perhaps, this could be way to change it if the SET_ORIENTATION does not give you the behavior that you expect.

I hope this helps.

Hello,
 
I have tried option (SET_ORIENTATION), but when I installed that app on android phone, it is allowing screen rotations in all directions. I have found the following link using Google search, but we don’t have a facility to edit AndroidManifest.xml file from Mobile App Builder.
 
Regards,
Sanjeev.
