I want my app to be landscape. I tried everything, my storyboard's orientations are landscape, I changed the supported orientations and the initial orientation in info.plist. Can anyone help me?
In iOS 6 simulator it is landscape.
In iOS 5 you need to implement the following method in everyone of your view controllers.
// Called only in IO 5 and earlier.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft );
}
And set UIInterfaceOrientation "Initial interface orientation
" to UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight in your Info.plist
And lay out your views in landscape mode.
Per Apple's developer docs

I'm trying to get one of my xib file to rotate to portrait as if it were the default in the first place.
I have made my app to support only landscape orientations. In the plist I have set "Initial interface orientation to Landscape (right home button)" because of majority of the app runs on landscape mode.
The code I place in my implementation files are :
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
Now when changing to the view controller that requires the interface to be in portrait mode I have placed this code on the xib file's implementation file to make it go into portrait mode and support portrait mode alone. So that even if the device is lying in landscape mode it would still run the view in portrait mode.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
Although this does not seem to work. It just remains in landscape mode and squeezes the image view and other objects I have placed in the xib file. How do I get the xib to rotate to portrait mode? Thanks.
change your Xib in Landscape Mode only and then click on your project file then target then select only Landscape mode or Portrait Mode(left/right or both)
then go to this method
I am using Landscape Mode.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
My experience shows that setting UIInterfaceOrientation in the plist file does not have any effect. On the other hand you can force an orientation (for example landscape) at start up time by setting:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
// your stuff
{
You can use this method also later on to force the logical orientation of the device. Note: this is an "official" method of Apple as of this document
I know this has been asked before and I actually searched through the questions to make sure I was doing things correctly. My app needs to maintain portrait orientation so I want to disable it from rotating into landscape.
In the summary I have supported device orientations of portrait and upside down only.
In viewcontroller I have:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return NO;
}
I have 6 other viewcontrollers, in each of them I have the following:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
But when I test the app on my provisioned iPhone, it rotates. Grrrr. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
It's the same in the simulator.
My fellow students and me coded a objective-c program for iPhone.
But we have a big problem:
Our App is coded in Portrait-mode, but 2 or 3 Views should be displayed in Landscape-mode (directly).
We activated Landscape autorotation in these views, but, if we open one of these views now, we get Portrait again and it only turns into Landscape, when we turn the device.
(Already on our test-device, no problem of the IOS-simulator!)
Can anybody help us please?
The only thing that worked for me was using
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
in my ViewController and presenting it with presentModalViewController.
This forces the View to stay in landscape.
I'd like the app to work like it would be as if I locked the orientation manually. I'm trying to find how I can lock the orientation for an app. In the info.plist, I have this setting:
Supported interface orientations (iPad)
Item 0 Landscape (right home button)
Item 1 Landscape (left home button)
I thought that would be enough to keep my viewControllers from staying in landscape mode and not portrait. But it does not. Do I need to do
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
in ALL my viewControllers? Thanks!
All though implementing shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation in all your view controllers will work, it is probably not the fastest or most practical way of doing what you are trying to accomplish.
If any of your view controllers in your hierarchy do not conform to the orientation change, then iOS will stop trying to rotate them. What this means is that only your root view controller needs to have implemented shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation with only landscape orientations. Each view controller pushed or added will conform to that function.
I have had to do this in several of my apps and it was required for several reasons.
In the end and after a lot of testing, we determined that the condition has to be set on the info.plist AND on every viewController.
So make sure it is set on the plist and that every shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientationonly returns yes for the allowed orientation.
This is because the plist will help you with allowed LAUNCH orientations, but your app could still rotate afterwards, specially when using modal views.
You can download one of my free apps that does thins on iPad: http://itunes.apple.com/mx/app/hoteles-city/id471505865?mt=8
Yes you do.
I have a different solution however. In every UIViewController, I use:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft){
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
} else if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
} else {
return NO;
}
}
I need to implement both variants of my Portrait orientation in iPad app.
I am using the code shown below to implement both Portrait and PortraitUpsideDown orientations.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
But orientation does not change when Orientation is PortraitUpsideDown.
What could be wrong?
Got it working.
Added both the variants of Portrait Orientations to Supported Interface Orientation to my info.plist for my app.
This has worked for me.
Hope this helps everyone.
you could use
return UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation)
which is just a macro for what you're trying to get.I'm not sure both will work on simulator.
