Full screen button does not work on iOS

[enricobenedos]

Good morning,

I'm retrying this package after a year because I really need it. At the moment I'm using the plain video_player with a lot of handmade custom widget that are already included in chewie. After a year I see that there are yet a lot of issue with full screen button/mode.

In my case full screen button is still not working on iOS (iPhone XS). Are there any plans to fix the problem? On Android full screen seems to work perfectly.

@enricobenedos I'm currently using video_player 1.0.1 version and chewie 0.12.2 version and it works fine on emulators and on real iphone 5s. Also change confugiration in your xcode if it's set only portrait mode

[enricobenedos]

I don't understand which is the correct configuration on Xcode, this my app actual configuration:

[assanbayev]

@enricobenedos your configuration seems fine. Then i dont know whats wrong. thats how i implemented chewie

 _chewieController = ChewieController(
                                                              videoPlayerController: widget.controller,
                                                              autoInitialize: true,
                                                              autoPlay: widget.autoplay,
                                                              allowMuting: false,
                                                              deviceOrientationsAfterFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.portraitUp],
                                                              deviceOrientationsOnEnterFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.landscapeLeft],
                                                              materialProgressColors: ChewieProgressColors(
                                                                playedColor: Colors.purple,
                                                                handleColor: Colors.purple,
                                                                backgroundColor: Colors.grey,
                                                                bufferedColor: Colors.purple[100],
                                                              ),
                                                              aspectRatio: SizeConfig.aspectRatio,
                                                              //placeholder:videoPlaceholder(),
                                                              errorBuilder: ((context,a) => videoErrorPlaceholder( context, a)),
                                                            );

Hello, setting device orientations works on Android and the screen rotates to one of requested orientations but iOs stays in portrait.

    _chewieController = ChewieController(
      videoPlayerController: _videoPlayerController,
      allowPlaybackSpeedChanging: false,
      allowMuting: false,
      autoPlay: true,
      allowFullScreen: true,
      allowedScreenSleep: false,
      aspectRatio: 16 / 9,
      placeholder: Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
      deviceOrientationsOnEnterFullScreen: [
        DeviceOrientation.landscapeLeft,
        DeviceOrientation.landscapeRight,
      ],
      deviceOrientationsAfterFullScreen: [DeviceOrientation.portraitUp],
    );

Details:

• iPhone 8
• iOs 14.8
• chewie 1.1.0
