How to force Swift iOS game application to open up in landscape orientation? (GameViewController)

Question

I am creating a game in iOS with Spritekit and I want my game to be in landscape orientation only. However every time I test my game in the simulator it always loads up in portrait orientation no matter what I try. I have read many stack overflow post on this issue and I have tried the following with no success:

GameViewController

override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
    return false
}

override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return [UIInterfaceOrientationMask.landscapeLeft, UIInterfaceOrientationMask.landscapeLeft]
}

Please note I have also tried switching Autorotate from true to false. This did not work either.

Answer 1

Try adding this function:

func navigationControllerSupportedInterfaceOrientations(_ navigationController: UINavigationController) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
}

Answer 2

Use UIInterfaceOrientationMask for setting up orientation.

 private var orientations = UIInterfaceOrientationMask.landscapeLeft
    override var supportedInterfaceOrientations : UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
        get { return self.orientations }
        set { self.orientations = newValue }
    }
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }
