iOS implements the face up and down detection, but a common requirement is to get to know the portrait or landscape status regardless of the facing direction of the device.
This merge request adds the possibility to ignore the facing of the device by calling a configuration function, which should be called as soon as possible and before any other orientation call (ie. in your index.js of App.js).
Usage
Under the hood, it relies on the status bar orientation whenever a face up/down is detected.
Please note that
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation
has been deprecated since iOS 13, but checking against the device width being greater that its height would loose the information about it being in landscape right or landscape left
