Harry Moreno's comment is correct. Add it to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml in the 'activity' section. Also change

android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

to android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenSize"

removing orientation so it doesn't conflict with the new line added, android:screenOrientation="portrait"
