Swift 4

I've had some minor issues when updating the ViewControllers view using UIDevice.current.orientation, such as updating constraints of tableview cells during rotation or animation of subviews.

Instead of the above methods I am currently comparing the transition size to the view controllers view size. This seems like the proper way to go since one has access to both at this point in code:

override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
    super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)
    print("Will Transition to size \(size) from super view size \(self.view.frame.size)")

    if (size.width > self.view.frame.size.width) {
        print("Landscape")
    } else {
        print("Portrait")
    }

    if (size.width != self.view.frame.size.width) {
        // Reload TableView to update cell's constraints.
    // Ensuring no dequeued cells have old constraints.
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }
    }


}

Output on a iPhone 6:

Will Transition to size (667.0, 375.0) from super view size (375.0, 667.0) 
Will Transition to size (375.0, 667.0) from super view size (667.0, 375.0)
