Am I the only one having this problem? 😅

Is this reproducible in a new, plain Cordova app? A minimal reproduction repository would really help to debug and later fix this issue. More information on how to create one: https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/create-reproduction.md

Please also provide the real versions of all the things you are using. "latest" changes, it is also unclear if this applies to everything or just cordova-ios.

Is this reproducible in a new, plain Cordova app? Sure, here we go.

create a blank cordova app: cordova create test com.iosfilepickerbug test
edit index.html and replace the body contents with <input type="file" />
rotate the device to landscape (+90 or -90) mode and then tap on the input.
At this point you should see the file picker... it will be in portrait mode,
so you will be forced to rotate the device.

Setting the orientation inside to config.xml does not work.

...applies to everything or just cordova-ios? Only on cordova iOS on iPhone

My last question was regarding this from your original issue:

Version information

Latest

But thanks for posting the reproduction steps, now someone can easily take a look.

I've tried in different iOS versions (11.0.1, 12.0 and 12.2 simulators, and 12.3.1 real device) and I couldn't reproduce.

But even if I could, the picker is handled by the webview, not by cordova, so we won't be able to fix this kind of issues, you should report them to Apple.
