==================================================================
Using Xcode 4.5.1, I have a tab-bar app with 5 tabs in it. Each tab contains a UINavigationController. The entire App thus needs to be viewed in Portrait mode with the exception of one sole ViewController - a "modal" VC that opens in full screen and that's intended to be viewed in Landscape mode.
This worked perfectly well in iOS5 - I simply used the following code in that one particular ViewController:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
But now the App crashes, and gives this error:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'UIApplicationInvalidInterfaceOrientation',
reason: 'preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation must return a supported interface orientation!'
Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Kindly check the What version xcode you used.
You used XCODE 4.5: shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation delegate Depreciated.
You use following lines in your project.
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}

Answer 2

You need to use this to avoid iOS6 crash..
#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= __IPHONE_6_0
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication*)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow*)window
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown; //Getting error here? then update ur xcode to 4.5+
}
#endif

Answer 3

Remember one thing. In iOS 6
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
is deprecated.
You cannot use it in iOS 6. For supporting different interface orientation in viewControllers of a UINavigationController you need to subclass the UINavigationController or make a Category of it.

Answer 4

Code looks OK. it Should not have crashed for just that methods.
problem coud be in another part of code.
However ,here i would like to tell you.
Above shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation methods orientation methods has deprecated in iOS 6.
if you want to know more how to fix orientation issue
