Force View Controller Orientation in iOS 9

I am working on a photography app that allow photos to be taken in portrait or landscape. Due to the requirements of the project, I cannot let the device orientation autorotate, but rotation does need to be supported.

When using the following orientation methods:

override func shouldAutorotate() -> Bool {
    return true
}

override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    if self.orientation == .Landscape {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.LandscapeRight
    } else {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait
    }
}

override func preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation() -> UIInterfaceOrientation {
    if self.orientation == .Landscape {
        return UIInterfaceOrientation.LandscapeRight
    } else {
        return UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait
    }
}

I am able to set rotation correctly at launch. By changing the orientation value and calling UIViewController.attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation() I am able to support rotation to the new desired interface. However, this rotation only occurs when the user actually moves their device. I need it to happen automatically.

I am able to call: UIDevice.currentDevice().setValue(targetOrientation.rawValue, forKey: "orientation") to force the change, but that causes other side effects because UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation only returns the setValue from that point on. (and it's extremely dirty)

Is there something I'm missing? I've looked into closing and launching a new view controller, but that has other issues such as a constant UI glitch when dismissing and immediately presenting a new view controller.

EDIT:

The following methods did not work for me:

• Trick preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation to fire on viewController change
• Forcing UIInterfaceOrientation changes on iPhone

EDIT 2:

Thoughts on potential solutions:

1. set orientation directly (with setValue) and deal with all the side effects this presents on iOS 9 (not acceptable)

2. I can use the current solution and indicate that the user needs to rotate the device. Once the device has been physically rotated, the UI rotates and then locks in place correctly. (poor UI)

3. I can find a solution that forces the refresh of orientation and rotates without physical action. (what I'm asking about, and looking for)

4. Do it all by hand. I can lock the interface in portrait or landscape, and manually rotate and resize the container view. This is 'dirty' because it forgoes all of the size class autolayout features and causes much heavier code. I am trying to avoid this.
