Cant detect orientation on the ios simulator?

Question

I tried :

if UIDevice.current.orientation == UIDeviceOrientation.portraitUpsideDown {

print ("UpsideDown")
}

I have rotated the simulator UpsideDown ,but It looks like the simulator cant catch that. I dont know if this works in real device .. I have no device to test that. Is this a simulator bug ? what can I do to detect the orientation ?

By default when xcode creates your project, it doesn't enable portrait upside down orientation. You can enable the same in Build Settings -> Deployment Info -> Device Orientation . Please see below the screenshot:
