iOS platform: Screenshots are not honored in landscape mode

See original GitHub issue

For iOS 10.2 device, the screenshots are not capturing in landscape mode. By default they honored in Portrait mode even after setting the capability to landscape.

Environment:

Appium Version: Appium v1.7.2-beta MacOS : 10.13.2 Xcode: 8.3 Device: iPad Pro iOS: 10.2 JavaClient: 5.0.4

Capabilities Used:

 DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("preventWDAAttachments", false);
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "ios");
        capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
        capabilities.setCapability("realDeviceLogger", "idevicesyslog");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "10.2");
        capabilities.setCapability("fullReset", false);
        capabilities.setCapability("useNewWDA", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("noReset", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("clearSystemFiles", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("xcodeOrgId", "xxxxxxxxx");
        capabilities.setCapability("xcodeSigningId", "iPhone Developer");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "xxxx iPad");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation","landscape")
        capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 100);
        capabilities.setCapability("udid", "bbbb");
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "/Users/ctl-user/Downloads/xxxxxx.ipa");
        println("Creating local iOS driver")
        return capabilities


Screenshotcode: 

BufferedImage takeScreenshot() 
{ 
     BufferedImage bufferedImage = null 
     Debug.setDebugLevel(3) 
      if (driver != null) { 
       File scrFile = driver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE) 
   try { 
       bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(scrFile) 
    } 
   catch (IOException e) 
  { 
       e.printStackTrace() 
} 
} 
  else 
{ 
  throw new ElementNotVisibleException("Element not found - ") 
} 
return bufferedImage 
}

My automation is completely based up on comparing the screens i.e Base VS target . For android platform it is working as expected. I am completely blocked due to this behavior.
