Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the Netbird iOS app does not support screen rotation for iPad mode. When using the app on an iPad, it remains in mobile view (vertical rotation) only, which limits usability and functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to request the implementation of screen rotation support for iPad mode in the Netbird iOS app. Specifically, I would like the app to be able to rotate horizontally to accommodate iPad users, making it more user-friendly and enhancing the overall user experience.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One alternative solution could be to create a separate iPad version of the app with optimized layout and features specifically tailored for the larger screen size. However, implementing screen rotation support would provide a more seamless experience for iPad users without the need for a separate version.

Additional context

Adding screen rotation support for iPad mode would enhance the versatility and usability of the Netbird iOS app, making it more accessible to a wider range of users. This feature would improve user satisfaction and ensure a consistent experience across different devices. Additionally, it would align the app with standard iOS conventions and expectations for iPad applications.
