orientation issue iOS 5

Question

I have created an iPad application that only supports landscape orientation (left and right).Ìt works perfectly on iOS 6, but on iOS 5 the application is turned.

Could any one please help me to resolve this issue.

Have a look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12434992/supporting-both-ios-6-and-ios-5-autorotation — Mikael, May 29 '13 at 09:42
How have you already specified the orientation changes? I've found adding the supported orientations in the applications InfoPlist works for iOS5/6. — Nicholas Smith, May 29 '13 at 09:53

Just add following method in ViewController

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
    (UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
         return (toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
     toInterfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}

shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method deprecated in iOS 6, still needed for iOS 5 support.

Actually it works but when I use presentViewController function, the app turns again – user2401221 May 29 '13 at 11:59
Add same method in `ViewController` which is presented by `presentViewController` method. – Navnath Godse May 29 '13 at 12:02

If your app uses a UINavigationController, then you should subclass it and set the class in IB. You would then want to override the following methods to support both iOS5 and iOS6:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation;
{
  return interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
 interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations;
{
  return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}

- (BOOL) shouldAutorotate;
{
  return YES;
}

in ios 6 their are "shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation" method deprecated,so u want to run the build in ios 5 and ios 6.

then,please go to build phase section and open the compile source.

then,paste the line in all viewcontroller

-fno-objc-arc

After that u paste the code

       - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
     return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft ||
 interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
   }

and make sure that in summary page support interface orientation are only select landscape left and right.

Why do you recommend setting -fno-objc-arc? I think it doesn't have anything to do with autorotation. – Michał Ciuba May 29 '13 at 10:39
it run deprecated method in ios 6 and u can say that old ios method run in newer version which has deprecated. – Shashi Sharma May 29 '13 at 11:42
No, it disables ARC for particular file. Did you mean -Wno-deprecated? – Michał Ciuba May 29 '13 at 13:00

In your applicationDidFinishLaunching method put this code

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationLandscape];

This will set you application to landscape mode irrespective of the device.
