Description

When rotating an iPhone to landscape (window.screen.orientation.lock('landscape')), then pause and resuming the app, and rotating the device back to portait (window.screen.orientation.lock('portait')), the app stays in landscape.

Sample: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/5c7fe8f1a82b9d085252e4ad78f7727f20170731143343/19fbca890a937721c9e724f5680f71b620170731143343/05d394

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open app
2. Click "rotate landscape" to set orientation to landscape
3. Pause app
4. Resume app
5. Click "rotate portrait" to set orientation to portrait
6. Nothing happens, app stays in landscape
7. Only after physically "wiggling" the device landscape/portait, the app goes into portrait mode.

Same steps without pause/resume doesn't give any issues.[^attachment-name.zip]
