Cordova-plugin-screen-orientation on iOS

[Dan Field <df...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I've submitted a pull request here: https://github.com/
apache/cordova-plugin-screen-orientation/pull/24#event-1357350620 (jira
issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13405) related to the
iOS behavior of this plugin.  The basic issue is that when the screen is
locked and then unlocked in iOS, it doesn't automatically return to the
orientation the user had before locking.  It will respond if the user
manually turns the device a few times, but it can result in the orientation
getting "stuck" in the locked position temporarily until the user starts
turning the device.

My solution is to record the position the phone is in before locking and
attempt to set the orientation back to that initial position.  This has
resulted in a better use experience in our testing for the production app I
work on.  I'm doing this in the iOS specific code because the same issue
doesn't occur on Android (at least on versions that I've tested, 6.x and
7.x).

I'd welcome any comments/reviews/feedback!

Thanks,

Dan

Hey Dan,

I don't know enough Obj-C to review this, but this sounds like a
_really_ useful feature and change. Hope someone else can review this,
so it can become part of the plugin.

Thanks for the great work!
