Solving the Limitation of Orientation in Your iPad Flutter App

If you're developing a Flutter application, you may encounter a peculiar issue on the iPad where orientation settings don't behave as expected. You've set your app to only allow portrait orientation, yet the app still rotates to landscape mode. This can be frustrating, especially when you want consistent behavior across all devices. Let's explore the problem and its solution in depth.

Understanding the Problem

In your Flutter app, you have implemented orientation restriction correctly for Android and iPhone using:

This code restricts the orientation only to portrait mode successfully on Android devices and iPhones. However, when it comes to the iPad, despite having the same code, the application continues to rotate into landscape views. So, why does this happen?

Why Does It Rotate on iPad?

By default, iPads are built to support multitasking features, resulting in them rotating in all four orientations (portrait up, portrait down, landscape left, and landscape right). The Flutter app's preference for orientation is often ignored in these scenarios unless modified explicitly.

The Solution

To resolve this issue and ensure that your application on the iPad remains in portrait mode, you'll need to make some adjustments in the app's configuration files. Here’s how:

Step 1: Modify Your Info.plist File

Open Xcode:

Navigate to your project’s iOS folder and open Runner.xcworkspace in Xcode.

Locate Info.plist:

In the project navigator, find the Info.plist file. This file contains essential configurations for your app.

Add Full-Screen Requirement:

Add the following key-value pair to your Info.plist:

Step 2: Test Your Application

Once you’ve updated the Info.plist file, run your application on the iPad again. This change will inform the iOS system that your app requires full-screen behavior, opting out of multitasking features that typically allow rotation.

Conclusion

By implementing the UIRequiresFullScreen in your Info.plist file, your Flutter application will no longer rotate to landscape mode on the iPad. This step ensures that users have a consistent experience across different types of devices.

If you find yourself working with multiple pages requiring different orientations, remember that this setting will apply application-wide. Use it wisely to keep the user experience seamless!

Now, go ahead and implement this solution, and enjoy a smoother, more controlled interface on your iPad app!
