If your are using Swift version >= 3.0 there are some code updates you have to apply as others have already said. Just don't forget to call super:

override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {

   super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)

   // YOUR CODE OR FUNCTIONS CALL HERE

}

If you are thinking to use a StackView for your images be aware you can do something like the following:

override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {

   super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)

   if UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {

      stackView.axis = .horizontal

   } else {

      stackView.axis = .vertical

   } // else

}

If your are using Interface Builder don't forget to select the custom class for this UIStackView object, in the Identity Inspector section at the right panel. Then just create (also through Interface Builder) the IBOutlet reference to the custom UIStackView instance:

@IBOutlet weak var stackView: MyStackView!

Take the idea and adapt it to your needs. Hope this can help you!
