Phonegap: Force screen orientation portrait/landscape

I'm using Phonegap Desktop/CLI to test my app. I'd like to force the screen orientation to be portrait.

I've added this line to my config.xml: <preference name="orientation" value="portrait" />

Then I run "phonegap serve". This works neither from Android or iOS.

The app screen listens to the orientation of the phone, turning from portrait to landscape as you rotate it.

Looks like this is unsupported with "phonegap serve". I had to build the app package (apk/android ipa/ios) and install it to my device to get it to work.

I used build.phonegap.com but I guess you can use the SDK's aswell.
