Launching into portrait-orientation from an iPhone 6 Plus home screen in landscape orientation results in wrong orientation

Question

The actual title for this question is longer than I can possibly fit:

Launching an app whose root view controller only supports portrait-orientation but which otherw

Answer 1

I'm in the same situation, and doing [self.window setFrame:...] doesn't work for me.

Adding the following at the end of application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions is the only thing I've found that works. It makes the screen blink and isn't exactly clean and efficient.

I added this at the end of application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

UIViewController *portraitViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController* nc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:portraitViewController];
[self.navController presentViewController:nc animated:NO completion:nil];
[self.navController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];  
[UIViewController attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation];

Just Remove All the items in Supported interface orientation except what you want (i need only Portrait) in info.plist , it will work for me

Answer 3

No luck for me the workaround by Jared using a generic container view controller. I've already subclassed tab bar controller with supportedInterfaceOrientations with no luck as well. Regardless of orientation of the 6+ after launch the tab bar's window is reporting frame = (0 0; 736 414)

So far the only workaround I've found is to force the window frame after makeKeyAndVisible

[self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; self.window.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, MIN(CGRectGetWidth(self.window.frame), CGRectGetHeight(self.window.frame)), MAX(CGRectGetWidth(self.window.frame), CGRectGetHeight(self.window.frame)));

Answer 4

just call [application setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait animated:NO]; in app delegate method - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

in fact the device now is UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait after Launching ,if you touch an inputField ,the keyboard is portrait layout

Answer 5

I had a very similar problem. I wanted to force portrait mode everywhere except for playing back videos.

What I did was:

1) to force the app orientation to be in portrait in the AppDelegate:

-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window
{
    if ([window.rootViewController.presentedViewController isKindOfClass:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class]])
    {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
    }
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

2) launching an empty modal view controller fixed the problem in my case. I launch it in the viewDidLoad of the first view controller that is on the root of my NavigationViewController (the first view controller visible after the application launches):

- (void)showAndHideNamelessViewControllerToFixOrientation {
    UIViewController* viewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
    [self presentViewController:viewController animated:NO completion:nil];
    [viewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];
}

Answer 6

For myself, I was having the same issue as jaredsinclair, but subclassing a UIViewController with the supportedInterfaceOrientations method was not solving the issue. Instead I did exactly what he did in my appDidFinishLaunching method of my AppDelegate and added my UITabBarController as a child to a normal UIViewController rather than his subclass and it worked!
