Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-8047:
--------------------------------------
Because of the async nature of JavaScript calls into WKWebView, the wkwebview
engine cannot support calling into JavaScript to dynamically determine if an
orientation is supported.
iOS calls "- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations" which is a synchronous
call to determine which orientations are supported. For the UIWebView engine,
this is fine since calling JavaScript is synchronous as well. However, the
CDVWebViewEngineProtocol protocol which is implemented by both engines only
support an async call into JavaScript.
Therefore, since the JavaScript function "window.shouldRotateToOrientation" is
not documented and not officially supported, I am going to remove it for 4.0.x
