iPhone 5 CAEAGLLayer returning wrong bounds - iphone

Question

For some reason, my OpenGL app is getting the wrong bounds information for CAEAGLLayer when running in the ios6 4-Inch Retina simulator.
The CAEAGLLayer bounds are printed out as
layer bounds are: (0.000000,0.000000), (320.000000,480.000000)
from this code:
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)coder {
if ((self = [super initWithCoder:coder])) {
// Get the layer
CAEAGLLayer *eaglLayer = (CAEAGLLayer *)self.layer;
eaglLayer.opaque = YES;
eaglLayer.drawableProperties = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO], kEAGLDrawablePropertyRetainedBacking, kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8, kEAGLDrawablePropertyColorFormat, nil];
printf("layer bounds are: (%f,%f), (%f,%f)\n", eaglLayer.bounds.origin.x, eaglLayer.bounds.origin.y, eaglLayer.bounds.size.width, eaglLayer.bounds.size.height );
context = [[EAGLContext alloc] initWithAPI:kEAGLRenderingAPIOpenGLES1];
if (!context || ![EAGLContext setCurrentContext:context]) {
[self release];
return nil;
}
animationInterval = 1.0 / 60.0;
}
return self;
}
The window contents are then shifted up, and 0,0 is no longer at the right location.
Anyone have any ideas why the CAEAGLLayer is being set to the incorrect width/height?
Thanks

Answer 1

Ah, someone else had this problem as well. Couldn't find it when I searched before.
This is the solution:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
self.window.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.width, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height);
}
