screen orientation lock does not work on iOS 12.x (ionic 4 with capacitor)

See original GitHub issue

I’m submitting a … (check one with “x”) [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] support request => Please do not submit support requests here, use one of these channels: https://forum.ionicframework.com/ or https://ionicworldwide.herokuapp.com/

Current behavior:

Screen Orientation is not locked on iOS 12.x XCode console shows

⚡️  [log] - Current screen orientation portrait-primary
To Native Cordova ->  CDVOrientation screenOrientation INVALID ["options": [3, portrait]]

Expected behavior:

Must lock the orientation

Steps to reproduce:

Related code: In my component I invoke

this.screenOrientation.lock(this.screenOrientation.ORIENTATIONS.PORTRAIT);

Please note that i use capacitor to support native features. The same code works fine in ionic 3.9.2 with cordova (no error and screen orientation is locked)
