Ionic cordova-plugin-screen-orientation doesn't work anymore on Ios

I've got some trouble with the screen orientation plugin since I updated everything. I have already a running app where everything works fine. But since I update every plugin and the cordova and ionic environment to the latest version my screen orientation plugin doesn't work anymore.

config.xml configuration

<preference name="Orientation" value="portrait"/>

installed plugins

cordova-plugin-screen-orientation 1.4.0 "Screen Orientation"
org.adlotto.cordova.recheck-screen-orientation 0.1.0 "RecheckScreenOrientation"

cordova version 6.1.1

ionic version 1.7.14

Javascript code

// to lock screen in portrait mode
screen.lockOrientation('portrait-primary'); // it doesn't work neither with 'portrait'
...
// unlock orientation
screen.unlockOrientation();

screen is defined but the function calls have no effect. I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. I tried it with my Iphone 5 (ios 9.2.1) and different emulators.

With my android device everything works as expected.
