I tring to make app support all orientation. Its working fine but only upside down orientation is not working. I am using ios7. For upside down the view does not rotate. I tried following code
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return yes;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll; // etc
}
My only second method is called but not first method. In infoPlist I enabled all the supported orientations.
Found the fix. Sourced mainly from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12758715/394969
In a nutshell for people who land here first:
/* In your view controller */
// Add support for upside down
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
Also flip on all device orientations in project settings as outlined in #Jignesh Mayani's answer. If that doesn't immediatley fix your issue check the link above for how to work with nav controllers and tab controllers (they all must support the required interface orientations).
Confirm that you have check, Go your project setting and Check

A Question was asked earlier. And i was facing the same issue where the Movie player was not rotating as the project properties didn't allowed to rotate. This issue was only faced in iOS7 over iPhone so i am trying another work around where i enable all the orientation in project Properties but the issue is that when ever i disable the rotation in other view controllers through functions like this
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
return FALSE;
}
// Tell the system what we support
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
return NO;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
The view controllers still rotate which i suppose that this is because its allowed in project properties.
So the Question is..
How can i disable Rotation in a specific Media Player View Controller
when Project settings allows all rotation?
OR
How can i Override rotation in a specific Media Player view controller
over project properties (Disabling rotation) which doesn't work in
iOS7
you can implement below method in you AppDelegate class it's working for me:
- (NSUInteger) application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
if ([[window.rootViewController presentedViewController] isKindOfClass:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class]])
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
else
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
}
When we are talking about orientation, they are 2 things that come into the picture:
Device Orientation Interface Orientation As its clear by the name only, Device orientation tells, in which orientation device is, and Interface orientation says in which orientation your app is presenting its interface.
Here what you are doing is, your app is supporting all orientation. You must have check marked all orientations in project.
Now when you are changing orientation of device from portrait to landscape, when you have set interfaceOrientation to be in portrait mode programmatically, this is what happens. As device orientation is changes, orientation of your status bar also changes. But as you have restricted interface of your app to be in portrait orientation, its not changing its orientation..
So this is what you can do:
Uncheck landscape orientation support for your app & check if problem persists.
Let me know what happened when you followed first step :)
I'm developing an iOS6 App with storyboards and i'm encountering an unexpected beahviour.
My app is almost in portrait mode , and i would keep this orientation in all the views except two.For this reason the project supports both landscape and portrait mode, i've subclassed navigation controller with a category (as explained almost everywhere :-)in Appdelegate.m and every view controller implements
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait; (landscape where needed)
}
and
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
return YES;
}
Everything seems to work well except the fact that in the transition between a landscape view to a portrait one (not vice versa ?) , all the elements of the ui are displayed in landscape(imagine that you're keeping the phone horizontal), if you turn the phone , the rotation event is fired, the ui turns back in portrait and only now is locked to this orientation.Is there a way to fire the rotation BEFORE the view is presented?
Why the shouldAutorotate is not called at the ViewWillAppear stage?
Thank you!
Remove both the above function and try this it should work
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
Return YES for supported orientations
}
if still it's not working then try this change the appDelegate
[window addSubview:nav.view];
to this code
window.rootViewController=nav;
I found this online chapter very good for explaining UIViewControllers and rotation.
http://www.apeth.com/iOSBook/ch19.html#Rotation
It s a big page, scroll down to Rotation.
Currently I have only portrait mode in iPhone application. I would like to permit landscape mode for one controller in application but unfortunately I'm not able to make it work.
I have these settings in my plist file:
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
</array>
And I implemented these methods in my controller:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
I use navigation controller in the app so I realize that it might be the problem. I subclassed the UINavigationController and implemented again shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation, supportedInterfaceOrientations and shouldAutorotate in the same way as above. Of course for I use subclassed navigation controller to show the controller which should have ability to rotate. I also tried to overwrite the methods of navigation controller by category but it also doesn't work.
I don't work on the application from the beginning, I inherited the codes. If there is some possibility how to restrict landscape globally it might be my case. For testing I use iPhone 6.0 simulator but my deployment target is 5.0. I appreciate any tips / help.
iOS6 also requires that you set a rootViewController for your window rather than adding the controller's view as a subview.
If you are doing something like this:
[window addSubview:someController.view];
then you can try changing it to this:
[window setRootViewController:someController];
Also look at this link. For ios6, Apple introduced these two methods :
supportedInter
faceOrientations:
shouldAutorotate
Hope it helps.

Try this on Controller youwant to give landscape orientation
// override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// return YES for supported orientations
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation); // support only landscape
}
Go to target window.
Click on Summary tab.
iPhone/iPad Deployment info -> Set the supported interface orientations for iPhone & iPad as per your requirement. See following image for more reference.
I was build an app in ios 4.1 but now i am using ios 6 to build it but there are problems in pushviewcontroller and orientation methods. So can any one tell me what are the changes have brought in ios 6?
I think that best solution is to stick to official apple documentation. So according to that I use following methods and everything is working very well on iOS 5 and 6. In all of your ViewControllers override following methods.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation);
}
Methods for iOS 6, first method returns supported orientation mask (as their name indicate), you can change it into Landscape or what suites you best.
-(NSInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait; //UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait or LandscapeLeft ...
}
second one thats tells your VC which is preferred interface orientation when VC is going to be displayed.
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait; //tells your VC in which orientation it should be presented, if you set Porttrait it would be in Portrait or otherwise ...
}
This solution is working
I want my iPad app to stop rotation as you rotate the iPad. I want to stop rotate every view.
Any ideas help?
if you want stop rotation for whole app then simply in app info.plist file changed Supported interface orientations ,Initial interface orientation property to portrait or landscape depends on you
In iOS6 shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation has be deprecated. Override both supportedInterfaceOrientations and preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation instead.
Please see
Just check the auto-resizing property of your view controller.
(Fixed syntax error)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
return YES;
return NO;
}
In My Project's info.plist I have deleted some key on the iPad Supported interface orientations like the following image (I have only given support for the portrait orientation)
The main idea of global controllable rotation lock is to write UIViewController category containing lock mechanism for every view controller.
You simply need to modify supportedInterfaceOrientations method globally
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return __orientation;
}
Here __orientation is the static variable which can be set via category method.
The full realization of the category is presented here
Please update your projectname.plist like this. Supported interface orientations have only one object "Portrait (bottom home button)"
I strongly advise against stop rotation on iPad because supporting rotation is a must on the iPad. This is because the iPad does not have a normal way in which it will be held unlike the iPhone, which is normally held in portrait view (AKA Vertical). So you have to leave the choice to the user to eventually lock the orientation
The HIG do not actually state this as a requirement, but as a recommendation but there are many app that was rejected by this issue.
By the way if you want to this for a limit number of view controller you should implement:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait){
return YES;
}
}
