> Actually, that is a bug. If 'default' is specified in config.xml, it
should produce plist values to support both landscape and portrait.
I think this is more about the semantics of `default`. IMO the `default`
orientation translates to: _let the platform decide how to handle the
orientation, that is, fall back to whatever is the platform's default behaviour
by removing the corresponding orientation and supported orientation entries
from the platform's manifest._
This approach of course has, as @nikhilkh pointed out, the downside that
one can not explicitly set the orientation to support both portrait and
landscape via `config.xml`.
Thus, to add flexibility and to address the inherent confusion around
orientation `default` I'd suggest adding support for `supported-orientations`
preference to `config.xml` — something that apache/cordova-lib#128
would've also benefited from. This would allow to work around the
aforementioned iOS issue like so:
```js
<preference name="orientation" value="default" />
<platform name="ios">
<preference name="supported-orientations" value="portrait, landscape" />
</platform>
```
If this is something you feel would make sense I'd be happy to create a PR
for the changes over at
[apache/cordova-lib](https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib).
