Description
# Bug Report
I am trying to unlock the restricted portrait mode of an Ionic App in just one of the pages.
## Problem
The plugin seems to work perfectly fine on Android yet whenever i try it on iOS i get thrown an error.
### What is expected to happen?
Whenever i enter this page i am calling the unlock() method of the plugin to allow the screen change of orientation
### What does actually happen?
It returns an error such as "To Native Cordova -> CDVOrientation screenOrientation INVALID ["options": [15, any]]" in Xcode and "TypeError: ctx.unlockScreenOrientation is not a function. (In 'ctx.unlockScreenOrientation()', 'ctx.unlockScreenOrientation' is undefined)" in the browser console.
The method lock() also seems to throw the same error at Xcode varying just the number of the options for 12 or 3 depending on the orientation i try to lock to.
### Environment, Platform, Device
I have tested on a physical iPhone 8 device and simulators up to iPhone 12 from the 14.2 software version above

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported unlock() and lock() failures on iOS using the listed Capacitor, Ionic, and cordova-plugin-screen-orientation versions, then compare the Xcode and browser-console errors. Done means determining the iOS compatibility issue and either confirming a necessary plugin change or documenting that the reported setup is unsupported.
