Autorotation in iOS 6 & iOS 7

Question

I want to support the autorotation in iOS 6 and 7. In my project I have a UITabBar with 4 ViewControllers. Only one ViewController of them should support the autorotaion to Portrait and Landscape. The other views should support only the Portrait style.

I hope you have an idea how to implement this function. shouldautorotatetointerfaceorientation doesn't work in iOS 7 :(

I added a UITabBarConntroller to control the autorotation

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    if (self.selectedIndex == 1) 
        return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
    else 
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

Maybe there is a way to change the Orientation manual when the View with the index 1 did disappear??

I hope you have a solution!

You could define those methods in each view controller, and again place `return self.selectedViewController.shouldAutorotate;` and `self.selectedViewController.supportedInterfaceOrientations;` in the Tab Bar Controller class. This will retrieve the `shouldAutorotate` and `supportedInterfaceOrientations` values from the active view controller and use them for the tab bar controller. — sooper, Apr 17 '14 at 16:02

Open project
Go to the General tab
Under orientation options check all checkbox orientation that you need to support

Go to the implementation of first view controller and add this code:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

Also for supporting iOS 6 implement method:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll);
}

Go to all other view controllers that are represented your tabs and set:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return NO;
}

Also for supporting iOS 6 implement method:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}

Yes, rotation will not "work", but it will still be possible to switch to a view controller in the "wrong" (i.e. unsupported) interface orientation. – Léo Natan Apr 17 '14 at 16:22

Set the orientations settings like this: enter image description here

In UITabBarController:

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // You do not need this method if you are not supporting earlier iOS Versions
    return [self.selectedViewController shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:interfaceOrientation];
}

-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    if (self.selectedViewController) 
        return [self.selectedViewController supportedInterfaceOrientations];

    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

This will not work, it will still be possible to open a view controller in an unsupported orientation. – Léo Natan Apr 17 '14 at 16:19
Is there a way to set one view to Landscape and the other views to portrait without autorotation? – Maxim Apr 17 '14 at 16:36
