```

Starting from iOS 27, `application(_:supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor:)` is deprecated in favor of
`UIWindowSceneDelegate.supportedInterfaceOrientations(for:)`. The AppDelegate method above still works, but if your
app adopts the UIScene lifecycle and you build with the iOS 27 SDK, you can implement the new method in your
SceneDelegate instead:

```swift

import OrientationDirector

func supportedInterfaceOrientations(for windowScene: UIWindowScene) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
return SharedOrientationDirectorImpl.shared.supportedInterfaceOrientations
}

```

If you need help, you can check the example project.

3. [Android - getRotation](<https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/Display#getRotation()>)

### iOS

Starting from iOS 16, the interface orientation is read from the window scene geometry, which reflects what the
system actually displays. As a consequence, after calling `lockTo` or `resetSupportedInterfaceOrientations` the new
interface orientation is delivered through the listeners (and hooks) as soon as the system applies it, instead of
being assumed right away.

#### Foldable devices (iPhone Duo)

On foldable devices the app moves between the outer and the inner display when the device is folded or unfolded:

1. The interface orientation is updated on fold / unfold, even though the device itself is not rotated;
2. The device orientation is the one reported by iOS (`UIDevice.orientation`), which is relative to the device body
and does not change on fold / unfold. The iPhone Duo inner display is mounted rotated by 90° relative to the
body, so an unfolded device can report a `portrait` device orientation together with a landscape interface
orientation, exactly like a native app would read them;
3. The inner display is a resizable environment: iOS treats the supported interface orientations as a preference and
ignores them there. This means that `lockTo` has no effect on the inner display, while it keeps working on the
outer one. `isLocked` still reports whether a lock has been requested, and the interface orientation always
reports the orientation actually displayed.

To be notified when the app moves to another display (e.g. fold / unfold), use `listenForDisplayChanges`: the
orientation values alone might not change in that case.

### Android

Since on Android we need to deal with sensors and their usage, it is worth noting that the device orientation computation works

Check the display when the activity moves between existing displays.

DisplayListener.onDisplayChanged reports changes to a display’s properties, not movement of an activity. An activity that handles configuration changes can move between existing displays without either display changing. (developer.android.com)

If the activity remains resumed during that move, neither callback nor register() checks the new display. The existing configuration-change receiver only checks interface orientation. The display event can therefore be missed until a later display change or pause/resume.

Expose a display resynchronization method and call it from the existing configuration-change receiver. Keep the normalized-size comparison to suppress rotations and window resizes.

Expose a display-resynchronization method in DisplayChangesListener and call it
from the existing configuration-change receiver so moves between existing
displays are detected even when the activity remains resumed. Keep the
normalized-size comparison in the resynchronization path to suppress rotations
and window resizes.
