Application 'orientationChangedEvent' no longer fires on iOS #11635

Issue Description

Handling screen orientation changes is no longer working for me on iOS, possibly due to the iOS 27 update but I'm not sure. I'm using Vue but I doubt that's the issue here. The way I do it is straightforward...

<script>
    ...
    const App = require("@nativescript/core/application")
    ...

    onPageLoaded()
    {
        App.on(App.orientationChangedEvent, this.onOrientationChanged);
    },
    onOrientationChanged(args)
    {
        console.log("*** onOrientationChanged: "+args.newValue);
    }

'onOrientationChanged' is called on Android (module 9.1.1) but not on iOS (module 9.1.0).

I verified that this is the case with a simple test app.

Reproduction

Run the 'myVue3TabsTest' sample project I'm providing. Notice that the label showing orientation does not change when iOS device is rotated. It does change (works) on Android.

Relevant log output (if applicable)
