Description

On some iPhione devices forcing rotation may not work correctly in non-modal windows on iOS (Especially on iPhone 8). (The Titanium SDK Guide already warns you that this could lead to unexpected behaviors).
Also on Android some flickering issues is present as the window is at first drown on screen with the wrong rotation and then correctly redrawn.

The following is a list of iOS devices supposed to be affected by the issue (compiling the code with Xcode 15.4):

 Ti.Platform.model                     Device
 iPhone14,6                        iPhone SE 3rd gen 2022
 iPhone10,5                        iPhone 8 Plus
 iPhone10,4                        iPhone 8 Plus
 iPhone10,2                        iPhone 8
 iPhone10,1                        iPhone 8
 iPhone9,*                         iPhone 7 Any?

FIXING WORKAROUND for iOS: Pass-trough a modal dialog window, by opening and closing it programmatically, while you are opening the forcing rotation window.

Expected Behavior

The window rotates correctly.
Possibly without a prior flickering on the uncorrect layout rotation.

Actual behavior

The window do not rotate correctly on some iPhone devices.
The window appear at first on the wrong layout rotation and then is redrawn correctly on Android.

Reproducible sample

Steps to reproduce

Switch the rotation between portrait and landscape, forcing it in different consecutive windows while keeping the real device under a different orientation (Horizontal or vertical).
