  1. POiOS 6 rotations: supportedInterfaceOrientations doesn´t work?
    text
    copied!<p>I´m having this issue with iOS 6 SDK: I´m having some views that should be allowed to rotate (e.g. a videoview), and some that don´t. Now I understand I have to check all orientations in the app´s Info.plist and then sort out in each ViewController, what should happen. But it doesn´t work! The app always rotates to the orientations, that are given in the Info.plist.</p> <p>Info.plist:</p> <pre><code>&lt;key&gt;UISupportedInterfaceOrientations&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; </code></pre> <p>any ViewController that shouldn´t be allowed to rotate:</p> <pre><code>//deprecated - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation { return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait); } - (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{ return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait; } </code></pre> <p>Observation: App rotates to landscape and portrait orientation. Any ideas why or what I´m doing wrong?</p> <p>Cheers, Marc</p> <p>Edit: My latest findings also indicate, that if you want to have rotation at some point in your app, you <em>have</em> to activate all four rotation directions in your project settings or Info.plist. An alternative to this is to override </p> <pre><code>- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window </code></pre> <p>in your AppDelegate, which overrides the Info.plist. It isn´t possible anymore to set only Portrait in your Info.plist and then having rotation in some ViewController by overriding shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation or supportedInterfaceOrientations. </p>
