   I use a somehow hackish but working workaround in one of my projects. It consists of two parts. The first is a fork of this repo with adjusted code for iOS. The second is a little script being invoked during build as cordova hook. It has a bit of "works for me" character. With this being said, here it is:
   
   The plugin: https://github.com/codevise/cordova-plugin-screen-orientation
   
   And the hook-script:
   ```
   /*global require, module, __dirname, console*/
   
   var insertAfter = require('./utils/insertAfter');
   
   var mainViewController = __dirname + '/../platforms/ios/<your-project-name>/Classes/MainViewController.m';
   var headMarker = "#import \"MainViewController.h\"\n";
   var bodyMarker = "#pragma mark View lifecycle\n";
   
   module.exports = function(context) {
     console.log('Overriding supported orientations...');
   
     insertAfter(mainViewController,
                 headMarker,
                 "#import \"CDVOrientation.h\"\n"
     );
   
     insertAfter(mainViewController,
                 bodyMarker,
                 "\n- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations\n" +
                 "{\n" +
                 "    return (unsigned long)[CDVOrientation allowedOrientations];\n" +
                 "}\n"
     );
   };
   ```
   
   Don't forget to adjust the path for the MainViewController to match your project structure and save it to `scripts/override_supported_orientations_for_ios.js` within your cordova project.
   Then add the script as hook in the `config.xml`:
   
   ```
   <platform name="ios">
     <hook src="scripts/override_supported_orientations_for_ios.js" type="after_prepare" />
   ...
   ```
   
   Again, this doesn't claim to be a solution, just a way to "get it done".
