I have an app that is supposed to work only in landscape mode. The app needs to play a video. Before iOS 13, I used an MPMediaPlayerViewController by subclassing it and overriding shouldAutorotate. Now I see that the replacement class AVPlayerViewController doesn't support subclassing (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/avplayerviewcontroller). How do I enable autorotation without subclassing?

Reiner, thanks. It is indeed a workaround that works if the device is in LandscapeLeft orientation. However, if I rotate the device while the video is playing, the video automatically rotates to the wrong orientation. I can't understand why auto rotations are not officially supported anymore... – Wolfy Nov 15 '19 at 15:13
