rotateEnabled={false} does not disable map rotation on iOS

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• I tested using a supported version of react native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

Setting rotateEnabled={false} on MapView does not prevent the user from rotating
the map on iOS. The prop is correctly respected on Android.

The map can still be rotated using a two-finger rotate gesture despite the prop being
explicitly set to false.

Minimal example:

<MapView
  rotateEnabled={false}
  style={{ flex: 1 }}
  initialCoordinate={{ latitude: 41.387, longitude: 2.1701 }}
/>
