react-native-orientation in iOS

Question

I have a project in React Native, and I need to lock an orientation with a specific view in landscape orientation. But, the code doesn't work and the screen loop tilting. I found one answer for the problem very similar to mine. But, the solution proposed here doesn't work. I already searched very hard for one solution.

Sorry for the bad English. Someone can help me?

this is a result of my code

This is my code

import React from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  ScrollView,
  View,
  Text,
  StatusBar,
} from 'react-native';

import {
  Header,
  LearnMoreLinks,
  Colors,
  DebugInstructions,
  ReloadInstructions,
} from 'react-native/Libraries/NewAppScreen';
import Orientation from 'react-native-orientation-locker';

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  React.useEffect(() => {
    function _onOrientationDidChange(orientation) {
      if (orientation == 'PORTRAIT') {
        Orientation.lockToLandscapeLeft();
      }
      console.log(orientation);
    }
    Orientation.lockToLandscapeLeft();
    Orientation.addOrientationListener(_onOrientationDidChange);

    //cleanup optional code
    return () => {
      Orientation.unlockAllOrientations();
      Orientation.removeOrientationListener(_onOrientationDidChange);
    };
  });
  return (

Answer 3

I have created new RN project as per your version configurations. App.js full code here.

"react": "16.9.0",
"react-native": "0.61.3",
"react-native-orientation-locker": "^1.1.7"

Its working fine. Hope you have linked react-native-orientation-locker properly in pod file.

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  React.useEffect(() => {
   function _onOrientationDidChange(orientation) {
    if (orientation == 'PORTRAIT') {
      Orientation.lockToLandscapeLeft();
    }
    console.log(orientation);
  }
    Orientation.lockToLandscapeLeft();
    Orientation.addOrientationListener(_onOrientationDidChange);

    //cleanup optional code
    return () => {
       Orientation.unlockAllOrientations()
       Orientation.removeOrientationListener(_onOrientationDidChange);
    };
  });
