I followed this article to make a TWA from a PWA. Everything is fine and the app feels like the PWA, but what I can't achieve is to lock the orientation to landscape.

The manifest of the PWA has this:

"orientation": "landscape", "display" : "standalone"

So if you add it to the homescreen from Google chorme it works as intended.

I tried setting the android:screenOrientation="landscape" in the manifest file and like this starts the app on landscape but it doesn't lock it.

Anyone has tried locking it?

“Custom Tabs does not currently provide an API that allows the developer to lock the orientation.”:

You could try the “Orientation Lock” method using media queries:
