Disabling the landscape mode

When testing our app, we need to test both landscape and portrait modes as both will be enabled by default. In the case of this app, we don't really need to have a landscape mode as it doesn't add any extra value to the portrait mode. Having decided this point, we need to disable the landscape mode to ensure we don't have any odd behavior in our user interface if the user orients the device as though for landscape mode. We will do this in XCode through the General tab when selecting the root of our project:

We need to uncheck both Landscape Left and Landscape Right options to allow only portrait mode in all cases.

Cross-platform Desktop Application Development: Electron, Node, NW.js, and React

Cross-platform Desktop Application Development: Electron, Node, NW.js, and React

Building and maintaining cross-platform desktop applications with native languages isn't a trivial task. Since it's hard to simulate on a foreign platform, packaging and distribution can be quite platform-specific and testing cross-platform apps is pretty complicated. In such scenarios, web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript can be your lifesaver. The goal of this book is to show how to develop desktop apps with popular web frameworks. This approach not only focuses on painless cross-platform distribution, but also is considerably less time/ resource consuming and much more business efficient approach.
