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

Question

I ran the following code in both iOS 7 and iOS 8:

UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
BOOL landsca         


        

Answer 1

Yes, indeed, screen size is now orientation dependent in iOS 8. Sometimes, however, it's desired to get a size fixed to portrait orientation. Here is how I do it.

+ (CGRect)screenBoundsFixedToPortraitOrientation {
    UIScreen *screen = [UIScreen mainScreen];

    if ([screen respondsToSelector:@selector(fixedCoordinateSpace)]) {
                    return [screen.coordinateSpace convertRect:screen.bounds toCoordinateSpace:screen.fixedCoordinateSpace];
    } 
    return screen.bounds;
}
