But this code is not working and shows me that UIdevice may not respond to setorentation please guide me that how could i change the orentation for only first splash screen and also other screen should be in potrait mode

Answer 1

UIDeviceOrientation refers to the physical orientation of the device whereas UIInterfaceOrientation refers to the orientation of the user interface. You can't change the physical orientation of the device, but you can change how the status bar is displayed via [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation
