View frame shows unexpected results on orientation change - iphone

Question

In portrait orientation, i have pushed the view contents up when keyboard appears and pushed it down on return key press.The view's frame is x=0, y=20 (status bar placed). In xib, the view size is set to freeform. When changed to landscape orientation, the new view's frame's origin is x=20 y=0. Ideally it should be x=0 and y=20 right? Below is the code.
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation
{
if(toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
// [self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 320, 460)];
}
else if(toInterfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight )
{
// [self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 480, 300)];
}
return YES;
}
-(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
if(toInterfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight )
{
[lblFirstName setFrame:CGRectMake(100, 134, 84, 21)];
[lblLastName setFrame:CGRectMake(100, 193, 83, 21)];
[txtFirstName setFrame:CGRectMake(273, 129, 142, 31)];
[txtLastName setFrame:CGRectMake(273, 188, 142, 31)];
[btnSubmit setFrame:CGRectMake(194, 243, 93, 37)];
}
else if(toInterfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
[lblFirstName setFrame:CGRectMake(37, 198, 84, 21)];
[lblLastName setFrame:CGRectMake(37, 282, 83, 21)];
[txtFirstName setFrame:CGRectMake(165, 193, 127, 31)];
[txtLastName setFrame:CGRectMake(165, 277, 127, 31)];
[btnSubmit setFrame:CGRectMake(114, 349, 93, 37)];
}
}
//Hide keypad on background touch
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
if(self.view.frame.origin.y<0)
{

}

if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{

}
}
}

{
// 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden comes above the keyboard
// 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up.
rect.origin.y -= OFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height += OFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
else
{
//revert back to the normal state.
rect.origin.y += OFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height -= OFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
self.view.frame = rect;
NSLog(#"view frame modified is %f %f",self.view.frame.origin.x,self.view.frame.origin.y);

}
//Return key click handled.
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)textField
{
if(self.view.frame.origin.y<0)

I got the same issue in iOS7.
At the same time the same code works fine in iOS8.
To fix this issue you need to shift view.bounds instead of view.frame
