Xcode 4.5 iOS 6.0 simulator orientation not working

Question

I have updated my Xcode to 4.5 , I have implemented the orientation methods as below

  -(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{

    return YES;

  }

-(NSUInteger)supported         


        

Answer 1

Apple does not call the shouldAutorotatetoInterfaceOrientation call in IOS 6.0 unless you tell the main window which view controller to send it to.

I got rotation to work in my app by setting the window.rootViewController to the top level view controller of my app in

-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
   ...
   window.rootViewController = topLevelViewController;
   ...
}

The iPhone version of my app only supports the two portrait orientations, so my top iPhone view controller required a new method:

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations 
{
  return  UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait |  
          UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown;
}
