[BUG] iOS Simulator infinite loop rotating orientation #73
Description
Describe the bug
Im facing an issue only on iOS where it seems orientation is constantly changing.
It seems when i try to lock i get a new event with new orientation, so it causes an infinite loop.
To Reproduce
useEffect(() => {
const listener = RNOrientationDirector.listenForDeviceOrientationChanges(
({orientation}) => {
if (RNOrientationDirector.isLockableOrientation(orientation)) {
RNOrientationDirector.lockTo(orientation, OrientationType.device);
}
},
);
return () => {
listener.remove();
};
}, []);
Expected behavior
Would just flip once if orientation changed
