Works for me!

Open info.plist as source code, you will see these properties:

• UISupportedInterfaceOrientations : For iPhone
• UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad : For iPad

Under UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad remove your unwanted orientation mode. In my case, I want only Portrait Mode so I removed the rest modes and then save it.

Done! Good Luck

Using Xcode 11

The iPhone orientation settings and iPad orientation settings can be set independently using the Deployment Info settings. No need exists to update the info.plist for orientation. Updating the Deployment Info will update info.plist for you. (This is not intuitive and may be overlooked)

For example, set the iPhone deployment info by selecting only the iPhone.

Then select the iPad deployment info by selecting only the iPad. Remove the landscape selections here.

Then when finished, if you want both iPhone and iPad settings, select them both. The settings will remain for both iPhone and iPad even if they differ (iPhone's orientation settings are shown but iPad's remain).

Flipping back to iPad only will show that the settings still remain.

The info.plist will also reflect the changes made to iPhone and iPad using the Deployment Info.
