Unsupport Orientation in iOS6

Question

My app is totally work only on portrait mode, but I have only one UIViewController that needs to be only in landscape mode in iOS6.

So:

One UIViewController should only support landscape mode.
The others UIViewController should only support portrait mode.

If I change on supported Interface Orientations to support both modes, I can't prevent them from rotate.

Yes you can, on each individual view controller implement supportedInterfaceOrientation and only pass UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait to all your view controllers except the one you want rotated

I already did it and doesn't work, it still rotate to both mode. – Marckaraujo May 09 '13 at 19:39
implement 'preferredInterfaceOrientation' also then. – Clint Warner May 09 '13 at 19:41
thx Clint, but also doesn't work, have you tried yourself? – Marckaraujo May 09 '13 at 19:46
A couple months ago I had to figure this problem out. It's kinda fuzzy in my memory how I solved it, but I know those two methods have a big part in getting it to work – Clint Warner May 09 '13 at 19:49

this only works if you want to let only one UIViewController to be in portrait mode and the except one to be in both modes, portrait and landscape. – Marckaraujo May 09 '13 at 20:26

The problem is (I assume) that you are using a UINavigationController interface. iOS doesn't support forcing different view controllers in a navigation interface into different orientations.

Indeed, the individual view controllers are not even consulted. You have to subclass UINavigationController itself and have it dictate the orientation.

But even then you won't be able to force rotation when changing view controllers. The only way to do that is with a presented view controller.

This has been explained many, many, many times here on Stack Overflow. Please search before posting.

@TonyMkenu, it is exactly what I need, could you create an example to work without storyboard? and post here as the correct question, many thx – Marckaraujo May 10 '13 at 17:54
