[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds Different iOS 8?

Question

I just started testing my app on an iPad 2 thats still running iOS 7, because thats what I had lying around. As soon as I open up the app, the main view under the UINavigationController is offset and too small. Heres a picture of what I'm talking about: enter image description here

The whole screen should be the light color. I use [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds to make the lighter view. I'm compiling this on the iOS 8.2 SDK. After logging the width and height, it seems like they're inverted. Is that how iOS 7 handles things? I think just checking if its running iOS 7 and swapping them will work, but I want to make sure this is the problem. Thanks.

EDIT: Swapping them worked, but when I go to another view, that view is also rotated, and those are normal views.

iOS8 bounds are relative to orientation thus a device in landscape will have different bounds from the same one on portrait , in iOS7 this does not happen, the bounds are the same no matter if you are in portrait or landscape

Even views that don't use the extra view are messed up like this. Is there a way to fix this other than manually going to every view controller and flipping the dimensions? – BlueSpud Apr 01 '15 at 22:01

Even using that, when I present something modally, it still only shows half of the view. – BlueSpud Apr 01 '15 at 22:12
I just bit the bullet and did it for every view controller. – BlueSpud Apr 02 '15 at 15:09
