This is a known issue and something I can't fix. I filled feedback:

Run the following command from the terminal:

1. Open an iPad Simulator
2. Turn the iPad into landscape mode
3. Run `xcrun simctl io booted screenshot screenshot.png` in the terminal
4. Notice the screenshot is in portrait while it should be landscape

If you run into this issue as well, please duplicate FB13550695 and let Apple know you're waiting for a fix.

@peagasilva I'll keep this issue open an pin it to the repository.

Somehow, I overlooked the Simulator is returning the proper orientation right now. I'm going to look into fixing this again!

Update The Simulator does it correctly, xcrun simctl does not 😓

Just found this inside the user defaults

"FDBA62E7-CA64-4B55-A8E1-9F19988EA323" =         {
            ChromeTint = "";
            SimulatorExternalDisplay = 2114;
            SimulatorWindowGeometry =             {
                "0A03D92B-FBEF-4596-A865-FA28E2647118" =                 {
                    WindowCenter = "{945.5, 581.5}";
                    WindowScale = "0.6679447852760736";
                };
            };
            SimulatorWindowOrientation = LandscapeLeft;
            SimulatorWindowRotationAngle = 90;
        };

Might be able to solve this after all!

So, I'm not able to read these user defaults, but I would be able to ask for permissions when a user tries to record in landscape mode 👌

This will be fixed in 12.11.0
