ios 6 orientation methods
the orientation methods have changed in iOS 6. my whole app in portrait mode got to many view controllers (not tab bar view controllers) i just want to rotate one of my view controller to landscape mode (it actually displays a webView) when i rotate the device.the below method was working in xcode 4.4 but, it's not in Xcode.4.5
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight );
the above method won't work in xcode 4.5 for this reason i have changed the below method but even though its not working....plz any suggestions thanks.
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
return self.modalViewController.shouldAutorotate;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
are you implementing supportedInterfaceOrientations as well ? you might want to.

I have an app that has a UIViewController as the root view controller (not a TabBar or NavigationController app!). This app is universal. It should always be portrait for iPhone and always be landscape for iPad.
I've tried the following, but I think this is iOS 5 code because it's not being called in iOS 6:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
else
{
return (interfaceOrientation == (UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight));
}
}
Any help is appreciated!
Here is the set of code for iOS 6. It uses masks. If it is for the entire iPhone one orientation and iPad one direction, then at the project level you can set that up by deselection the buttons related to the orientations you don't want. That is if all the views in iPhone are going to be the same, and for iPad it's also applicable. If you want to do it with codes, the the following will do the job:
- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown;
}
Just take the orientations you don't want to use out. Let me know if you need more help please.
I've written a tabbed application with a few view controllers, and on iOS 6 it rotates happily in all orientations as I've got them all supported in the app summary.
My deployment target however is iOS 5 and I'd like to be able to rotate in all orientations on this too. I've tried varies combinations of:
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape;
}
But none are enabling rotation for iOS 5. Do I need to put this method in just the app delegate or in all the view controllers? Am I doing it totally wrong??
Cheers,

You can add this all your view controllers
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape);
}
or you can edit your plist's Supported Interface orientations
for iOS 5.0, also add to your view controller, and you can also change it in your build settings, and your info plist file, to be sure.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return YES;
}
Using:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight | UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown;
}
Worked great
I want to eliminate Landscape Orientation in my application, which is built for IOS 5. In IOS 6 I know this is possible - but it doesn't seem to be working for me in the earlier version.
I am setting only two orientations in my plist file (Portrait w/Home Button on Top and Portrait w/Home Button on Bottom). Regardless, Landscape still crops up in IOS 5.
Is there something further I need to do to eliminate this from happening?
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
// return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
{
return NO;
}
else
{
return YES;
}
}
write this code in .m file for ios5 orientation
let me know it is working or not....
Happy Coding!!!!
This will work. Go to storyboard deselect the orientation you don't want and in view controller, write this code:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown || interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait );
}
When Game center is loaded its default orientation is portrait.
In order to lock it in landscape mode, added a category.
#implementation GKMatchmakerViewController (LandscapeOnly)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return ( interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
return NO;
}
#end
It is working fine in below iOS 6 .But in iOS6 it shows an error.
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'UIApplicationInvalidInterfaceOrientation', reason: 'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'
Please explain a solution.
At last i avoided crash by following the workaround mentioned in Apple's iOS 6 release notes.
Workaround:
1.Apps should provide the delegate method application:supportedIntefaceOrientationsForWindow and ensure that portrait is one of the returned mask values.
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication*)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow*)window
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}
2. When a UIBNavigationController (or a UIViewController) is involved, subclass the UINavigationController/UIViewController and overriding supportedInterfaceOrientations.
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
And
In buid summary supported orientations selected landscape right and landscape left.
Now game center is working properly without crash.
Have to add 1 little thing. Struggling with that stupid issue about 2 days. If above doesn't help and you have UINavigationController invovled (and you already did subclass it) you need the following (in appDelegate):
[window setRootViewController:navigationController]; // use this
// instead of [self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];

I am working on window based iPhone app.
I wanted to add rotation feature by using,
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
but it does not work.
What is wrong with this.
Note: xCode 4 , iOS 4.3
Regards.
In Xcode 4 click on the project the very top item in the left bar and then click on the summary tab and make sure the supported orientations is set correctly.
If that is fine then you might try rewriting the return line to be something like this:
return(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
If that doesn't work just try return YES; and see if the views will rotate.
