How do I change the width and length of the button while the phone screen is in portrait or landscape mode?

I want this to be the button size when the screen is Portrait :

        View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140).isActive = true
        View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140).isActive = true

and when the screen is landscape :

        View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
        View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true

and this is my code :

class CHATViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var View_Mor: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    View_Mor.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    View_Mor.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
    View_Mor.centerYAnchor.constraint(lessThanOrEqualTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
    View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140).isActive = true
    View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140).isActive = true
 }


override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
    super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)
    if UIDevice.current.orientation.isLandscape {
        View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
        View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30).isActive = true
        self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
    } else {
        print("Portrait")
        View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140).isActive = true
        View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140).isActive = true
        self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
    }
 }
}

But it doesn't work

Use size classes to vary the width and length of the button. Override traitCollectionDidChange method, this will be called when the iPhone has changed in different orientations. Using the horizontalSizeClass & verticalSizeClass from the traitCollection activate the required constraints.

import UIKit

class CHATViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var View_Mor: UIView!
    lazy var heightArchonWhenPortrait = View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140)
    lazy var widthArchonWhenPortrait = View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 140)
    lazy var heightArchonWhenlandscap = View_Mor.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30)
    lazy var widthArchonWhenlandscap = View_Mor.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 30)

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        View_Mor.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        View_Mor.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
        View_Mor.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor).isActive = true
        heightArchonWhenPortrait.isActive = false
        widthArchonWhenPortrait.isActive = false
        heightArchonWhenlandscap.isActive = true
        widthArchonWhenlandscap.isActive = true
    }


    override func traitCollectionDidChange(_ previousTraitCollection: UITraitCollection?) {
        super.traitCollectionDidChange(previousTraitCollection)
        redoLayout(trait: traitCollection)
    }


    func redoLayout(trait:UITraitCollection) {
        if trait.horizontalSizeClass == .compact && trait.verticalSizeClass == .regular {
            heightArchonWhenPortrait.isActive = false
            widthArchonWhenPortrait.isActive = false
            heightArchonWhenlandscap.isActive = true
            widthArchonWhenlandscap.isActive = true
        } else {
            print("Portrait")
            heightArchonWhenlandscap.isActive = false
            widthArchonWhenlandscap.isActive = false
            heightArchonWhenPortrait.isActive = true
            widthArchonWhenPortrait.isActive = true
        }
    }
}
