Description

As shown here in the documentation to set the orientation of the application a preference option in the config.xml should be used.

<preference name="Orientation" value="landscape" />

However this makes no change to the application's orientation when tested on my Android mobile devices.

When looking at the built AndroidManifest.xml in the platforms/android directory it's clear that it is missing the required activity attribute.

android:screenOrientation="landscape"
