Set orientation to portrait and upside down for iOS project – Ios swift

I have an iOS project where I want to be able to show the app only in Portrait and Upside Down mode.

I did the following:

  1. Checked Portrait and Upside Down in target -> General -> Deployment Info -> Device Orientation

enter image description here

  1. Added supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow function to my App Delegate file:
    - (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
    }
  1. Added shouldAutorotate and supportedInterfaceOrientations to my View Controller files:
  override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
    return true
  }
  
  override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return [UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portraitUpsideDown, UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait ];
  }
  1. Edited the Info.plist file to include Portrait and Upside Down:

enter image description here

However when I run the app on the iPhone it only shows in Portrait mode not the Upside Down mode when rotate upside down.

I am using Version 13.4.1 (13F100) on Macbook Pro and testing on an iPhone 7 with iOS 15.5.

    I managed to solve it. The problem was that in the project there was a 3rd party pod named SideMenuSwift being used which had its preferences set to .portrait only. I changed it to .all and in supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor in AppDelegate I have:

    return .portraitUpsideDown | .portrait

    add this in AppDelegate

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