Swift 3 how to lock orientation

Question

I am trying to lock my viewController to just portrait orientation without having to rely on Deployment Info but my following code isn't working

override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
    return false
}

override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
}

 override var preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation: UIInterfaceOrientation {
    return UIInterfaceOrientation.portrait
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

}

why not rely on that info? it's not a good way to try to be smarter than xcode — Lu_, Nov 03 '16 at 06:50
I copied and paste your code and it does lock the viewController to *portrait* mode, `override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask { return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait }` should be enough for your case. — Ahmad F, Nov 03 '16 at 07:24

You can try this in the AppDelegate. This will lock the orientation for all your viewControllers

func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask(rawValue: UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait.rawValue)
}

Make sure you put your code in parent view Controller otherwise it may not work, for example, in the navigation controller view controller class.
