iOS SDK Orientation Bug

cmontiel · 10-03-2012 04:57 PM

Device: iPad3
OS: iOS 6.0
Esenthel SDK: Downloaded today.

Orientation is fixed to portrait, it doesn't matter what you enable in "Supported Interface Orientations" (Summary tab).

Only the esenthel logo is responding to orientations, when the game starts its fixed to portrait.

Thank you I will check this.

just tried iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0, and it's okay.
please make sure that each supported orientation is enumerated separately in the plist (before making changes could you attach sample image of your current's plist orientations? I'd like to see why it won't detect yours)

this might be helpful for you:

Code:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOr​ientation

{

   if(NSArray *supported_orientations=[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"UISupportedInterfaceOrientations"])

   {

      CChar8 *orientation_name=NULL;

      switch(interfaceOrientation)

      {

         default                                      : return NO;

         case UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait          : orientation_name="UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait"          ; break;

         case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown: orientation_name="UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown"; break;

         case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft        : orientation_name="UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft"     ; break;

         case UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight        : orientation_name="UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight"    ; break;

      }

      REP([supported_orientations count])

         if(AppleString([supported_orientations objectAtIndex:i])==orientation_name)return YES;

      return NO;

   }

   return YES; // if not available then support all orientations

}

Tutorial project.

As you can see each supported orientation is enumerated separately.

I've tested in simulators 5.0, 5.1, 6.0 without touching nothing. Only build and run:

iPhone, iPad 5.0 => OK
iPhone, iPad 5.1 => OK
iPhone, iPad 6.0 => Fixed to portrait. (Also on device).

Definitely it's something related to iOS 6.0. Maybe they changed the API for shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation function ?

Yep, shoulAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is deprecated in iOS6.

Now you must use:

Code:

- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations

{

...

}
