In Swift, how to get the device orientation correctly right after it's launched?

Question

I use following code to see if the device is in landscape mode or not:

UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation.isLandscape.boolValue

It works

Answer 1

This worked for me:

if UIScreen.main.bounds.width > UIScreen.main.bounds.height{
    print("Portraitmode!")
}

It works on all devices based on the display dimensions: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/Displays/Displays.html
