@SherifOmran Probably using the native APIs of the underlying OS (iOS/Android what ever).

Hi
Did you try the manifest file?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20774498/qml-screen-orientation-lock
should also work with widgets.

To add to the others,

in iOS you have these entries in the info.plist file

<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
        <array>
                <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
                <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
                <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
                <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
        </array>

for allowed orientations

This is i use for iOS (Adding to @J-Hilk)

It only supports Portrait Orientation.

    <array>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
        <!--
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
        <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
        -->
    </array>

All the best.

thank you guys for the notes. I usually use Qt directly to test the applicaiton on the table. So far, i know when the application is finished, i convert it to xcode and inside it, i can plug the info file.
Is there an easier way to use info.plist files from inside Qt ?
