When testing my app, which was made to only be in portrait mode, it still switches to landscape mode when the phone is tilted. When going back into portrait it makes all of my buttons disabled forcing me to restart the app. I’m unable to publish this to the store with this kind of bug.

My settings for Default App Layout is correct, I’ve checked that each page has the correct orientation set, and just recently even tried to use the blocks on each page to set it. Nothing has worked.

The only way to stop it is to lock the orientation myself in the settings of my phone. I can’t ask customers of my app to do the same.

We were able to identify the root cause, develop a fix and release it to production so everything should be working as normal again for you now.
