namedOrientationDidChange not supported on iOS

[TLenahan]

Description

Currently there is no implementation of the namedOrientationDidChange event for iOS. There is also an issue with Dimensions not correctly updating on rotation which there is a Pull Request out for. I am looking to be able to subscribe to the namedOrientationDidChange event on both platforms.

Reproduction

Although I am unable to rotate the Simulator/Emulator on RNPlay, i have created an example app to demonstrate how I am using the namedOrientationDidChange event.
https://rnplay.org/apps/T7yq6A

Solution

Will namedOrientationDidChange be implemented on the iOS side? Or is it suggested to use a third party library. I would prefer to not rely on a third party library if RN can provide a solution.

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.39.0
• Platform: iOS
• Operating System: MacOS

Are there any news on that? Did you check https://github.com/yamill/react-native-orientation ?

automatic re-layout is not always enough, we need a way to tell when orientation has changed (I'm using Expo so I can't use native libraries)
