Answer 1

Swift 4

AppDelegate

var orientationLock = UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all

func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return self.orientationLock
}
struct AppUtility {
    static func lockOrientation(_ orientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask) {
        if let delegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate {
            delegate.orientationLock = orientation
        }
    }

    static func lockOrientation(_ orientation: UIInterfaceOrientationMask, andRotateTo rotateOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientation) {
        self.lockOrientation(orientation)
        UIDevice.current.setValue(rotateOrientation.rawValue, forKey: "orientation")
    }
}

Your ViewController Add Following line if you need only portrait orientation. you have to apply this to all ViewController need to display portrait mode.

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
AppDelegate.AppUtility.lockOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait, andRotateTo: UIInterfaceOrientation.portrait)
    }

and that will make screen orientation for others Viewcontroller according to device physical orientation.

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        AppDelegate.AppUtility.lockOrientation(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all)

    }
