Guys, respectfully, I wouldn’t assume this is a bug. The thing is that Corona gives you fine-grained control over how things are oriented, separating native and content elements into their own separate thing.
I’ve posted in a similar thread, but I’d recommend investigating this doc page closely and experimenting before concluding its a bug:

If you post the orientation table from your build.settings, we might be able to help you get it sorted out. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the problem might be!
Here’s my settings for iOS in an app that rotates freely between both landscape orientations. It’s working for me with the orientation of native elements too (keyboard, notifications, banners, etc).
orientation = {
default ="landscapeLeft",
content = {
"landscapeLeft",
"landscapeRight"
},
supported = {
"landscapeLeft",
"landscapeRight"
}
},
The thing to note is the “content” table. That controls the allowed orientations of native UI elements.
I use this in conjunction with a modified version of this:
