How to block landscape position from code, separetly for each view controller?

Question

I know that I can select available orientation of my app in targets menu, but I would like to block landscape orientation for each screen EXCEPT the one with youtube player.

I suppose this couldn't be done via app delegate since it does not distinct controllers and apply the rule for the whole app.

I suspect maybe there is a way to do that via sharedApplication(), but have no clue how to.

Do you have any idea how such thing could be done?

Use this override func in each VC you want to block .LandscapeLeft and .LandscapeRight

override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> Int {
    return Int(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait.rawValue) | Int(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.PortraitUpsideDown.rawValue)
}

Doesn't work with a UINavigationController. The portrait-only screen ends up in landscape. – Kartick Vaddadi Mar 06 '17 at 12:25

Add this to the UIViewController class you wish to set to Portrait only.

override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> Int {
  return Int(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait.rawValue)
}

Provided you haven't changed any settings in your target the other screens without this should be able to rotate correctly.
