Using XCUITEST, IOS(10.2.1),REAL device(iPad9.7")Appium 1.6.5
I have the iPad standing in ‘landscape’ mode, with the USB connector to the Right as I look at it.
Using the python bindings, I do:
caps = {'showXcodeLog': True,
'realDeviceLogger': 'idevicesyslog',
'bundleId': 'com.google.ios.youtube',
'useNewWDA': True,
'fullReset': False,
'automationName': 'xcuitest',
'clearSystemFiles': True,
'platformVersion': '10.2.1',
'deviceName': 'Ipad9.7',
'usePrebuiltWDA': False,
'logXcodeOutput': True,
'newCommandTimeout': 86400,
'preventWDAAttachments': True,
'platformName': 'iOS',
'udid': '0dxxxxx35'}
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:4723/hub/wd", caps)
and that works fine, except that it launches youtube in portrait mode, and not the mode that the device is currently in. If I do it manually, in this position, youtube launches in landscape. and in fact with appium i see it launching in landscape and then moving to portrait.
and in the logs from appium, i see this:

My question is, is there any way to not have it reset the orientation to portrait? I’ve searched the capabilities, and even the code for appium-xcuitest-driver and don’t see any switch to disable this behaviour.
Thanks
