Swift 3. This locks the orientation each time the user re-opens the app.

class MyViewController: UIViewController {
    ...
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Receive notification when app is brought to foreground
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.onDidBecomeActive), name: NSNotification.Name.UIApplicationDidBecomeActive, object: nil)
    }

    // Handle notification
    func onDidBecomeActive() {
        setOrientationLandscape()
    }

    // Change orientation to landscape
    private func setOrientationLandscape() {
        if !UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {
            let value = UIInterfaceOrientation.landscapeLeft.rawValue
            UIDevice.current.setValue(value, forKey:"orientation")
            UIViewController.attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation()
        }
    }

    // Only allow landscape left
    override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.landscapeLeft
    }

    /*
    // Allow rotation - this seems unnecessary
    private func shouldAutoRotate() -> Bool {
        return true
    }
    */
    ...
}
