Hi,
Did you simply tried LANDSCAPE and PORTAIT as mentioned in the keyword doc?
[https://serhatbolsu.github.io/robotframework-appiumlibrary/AppiumLibrary.html#Landscape](https://serhatbolsu.github.io/robotframework-appiumlibrary/AppiumLibrary.html#Landscape)
The rotate/set method are rather to use if you’re implementing in python directly I think.
