There are some cases where one view controller should be able to disallow rotation. Specifically, when that view controller uses the gyroscope for user interaction.

When opting into split-screen multitasking, that ability is taken away. It should be made available when the app is fullscreen / not sharing with any other apps.

Un-rotating a view as a workaround is not sufficient. During the rotation animation user touch interaction is disabled, and again, there are cases where orientation should stay locked while a user moves the device for motion interaction.

The 'App Requires Fullscreen' option is no good, since it means we cannot participate in split-screen multitasking.

Asking the user to lock the entire device for one view controller only is a poor, clunky workaround that interferes with all other apps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make an app that does not 'Require Fullscreen.' Now you cannot prevent rotation.

Expected Results:
Have some way to prevent rotation.

Actual Results:
No way to prevent rotation.

Notes:
I understand that rotation must be enabled when sharing the screen with other apps. However when an app is fullscreen, it should retain the ability to prevent rotation
