Older EAGLView based apps are rendering 25% up and to the left on iPad Air (Landscape)

Question

I am getting a very odd anomaly with iOS 8 where my screen is rendered 25% up and to the left... I check all the values coming from bounds etc and all seems correct. My project is based on the old EAGLview code, and I have tried using xib (which USED to work fine) and also tried generating the window myself and subsequent glview myself. I always get the same result. The screen is shifted 25% up to the left (along with the touch area). Its quite baffling. Anyone have any ideas on this?

BTW the apps all run in landscape mode (and all worked fine pre iOS 8).... — swuth, Nov 03 '14 at 18:48

[UIScreen bounds] is now interface-oriented;

I was setting the bounds differently in iOS7 , but now something like this looks like working for me:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    _screenWidth = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width;
    _screenHeight = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height;

}

also have a look here if that does not solve the issue:

Is [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size becoming orientation-dependent in iOS8?
