Problem

With the 3.0.2 version, the turn orientation change for iOS on landscape mode

What is expected to happen?

I have an ionic3 app in portrait mode, fixed in config.xml :

in 3.0.1, when using ionic native : this.screenOrientation.lock(this.screenOrientation.ORIENTATIONS.LANDSCAPE);
the app turn right, and we turn the device on left to have the top of the device on left
I use this orientation on a specific page, not on all

What does actually happen?

in 3.0.2 :
the app turn left, and we turn the device on right to have the top of the device on right

As I understand the PR this was actually a bug on iOS before (vs. how it should work and how it works on other platforms) that has been fixed there. Do you disagree?

Well, as i understand, there was a bug when in landscape mode, doing screen.orientation.lock(landscape);, it flips to the opposite landscape
i don't have this case in my app.
My app is fixed in portrait, and i switch from portrait to landscape and landscape to portrait only with 2 different button (one in a page, the other in a modal)

For my app, the PR solve no problem ,but add this issue

Can you visualize this with screenshots or even better a repro app? I am not sure I fully understand what is going on.

Sorry for the poor screenshot edited in paint quality, but here is the problem

Our ionic application is fixed in portrait in config.xml

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

The only time we switch to landcape is when clicking on the arrow (in red in my beautiful screenshot). typescript code is

this.screenOrientation.lock(this.screenOrientation.ORIENTATIONS.LANDSCAPE);

(we are using ionic-native adaptation of the plugin : https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/screen-orientation/ )

With 3.0.1 plugin, both android and iphone were rotating in the same direction (top one on screenshot), so counter clockwise
With 3.0.2 plugin, iphone is rotating clockwise

Thank you! And I though the bugfix in 3.0.2 would actually fix this to be correct...

Can you create a new project with some minimal pages that reproduces this problem? I need to look at it myself. (Ionic is fine in this case - but if you want to do it in plain Cordova you of course get bonus points)
