Answer 1

The reason why your Preview layer is not orientating is due the fact that you are using deprecated API and moreover you are not updating the Video orientation at the change of device orientation.

1. Remove the deprecated API i.e in your code instead of

   captureVideoPreviewLayer.orientation
   

   use videoOrientation property i.e

   captureVideoPreviewLayer.connection.videoOrientation 
   

2. Update the video orientation in shouldAutorotate as follows:

   - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
   {
   
       if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
       {
          captureVideoPreviewLayer.connection.videoOrientation = AVCaptureVideoOrientationLandscapeRight
       }
   
         // and so on for other orientations
   
       return ((interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight));
   }
