How to Disable App Rotation in React Native iOS Without Xcode

Building mobile applications using React Native often involves managing various settings and configurations. One common requirement is disabling app rotation. If you find yourself needing to do this on an iOS device but don’t have access to Xcode, worry not! This post will guide you through the steps to accomplish this using VSCode.

The Problem: App Rotation on iOS

When developing iOS applications in React Native, you might want to lock the orientation to portrait or landscape. Unfortunately, many developers believe that this can only be done through Xcode. While Xcode does provide a user-friendly interface for modifying these settings, you can also achieve the same effect by modifying a specific configuration file in your project.

The Solution: Editing Info.plist

You can easily disable app rotation in your React Native project by updating the Info.plist file directly, without needing Xcode. Here’s how to do that step-by-step.

Step 1: Locate Your Info.plist File

Open your React Native project in VSCode.

In the file explorer panel, navigate to ios/<YourProjectName>/Info.plist.

Open the Info.plist file for editing.

Step 2: Update UISupportedInterfaceOrientations

In the Info.plist file, you need to locate the key UISupportedInterfaceOrientations. If you can't find it, you can create it.

To Allow Rotation in Multiple Orientations:

If you want to allow your app to rotate between portrait and landscape orientations, add or update the code as follows:

To Disable All But Portrait Orientation:

If you want to restrict your app to portrait orientation only, use this code instead:

Step 3: Save Your Changes

Once you’ve made the necessary changes, save the Info.plist file.

Step 4: Testing Your Changes

While you won't be able to test the changes directly without Xcode, you can run your React Native app using your usual method (react-native run-ios) to see the effects once the necessary testing environment is set up.

Conclusion

Disabling app rotation in a React Native iOS application without Xcode is straightforward if you know where to look. By modifying the Info.plist file in your project, you can efficiently manage the device's screen orientation settings. This allows you to focus on building your app without the need for access to a Mac environment.

Remember, being familiar with your project's configuration files can save time and provide flexibility in your development process. If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to leave a comment below!
