[RNScreens] Unsupported orientation mask on iOS

[rahimn20]

Description

After upgrading a project from React Native 0.73.11 → 0.80.0, screen components that previously used the orientation option inside React Navigation now throw the following runtime error:

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a React Native project on 0.80.0 using React Navigation with @react-navigation/native-stack.
2. Add a screen configured with the orientation option:

<Stack.Screen name="AnyScreen" component={AnyScreen} options={{ gestureEnabled: false, orientation: 'landscape_right', }} />

3. Launch the app on iOS
4. Navigate to the screen configured above.
5. Observe that the app logs or throws the following error:

[RNScreens] Unsupported orientation mask

6. Notice that the orientation is not applied to the screen.
7. If the issue does not reproduce initially, try navigating back from this screen using:

navigation.reset({ index: 0, routes: [{ name: 'SomeOtherScreen' }], });

instead of navigation.goBack().
The error consistently appears when the screen is mounted again via navigation.reset()
