iOS Simulator Loading Upside-Down in XCode

Question

I haven't done anything funky with my code, and am running the latest version of XCode, but for some reason when I run a build on the simulator, everything works perfectly except for the fact that it's upside down. Any idea why that could be the case?

Thanks in advance.

I had (have) this problem also. At first I though I found it when I created a fresh app and compared the Info.plist and discovered my app had the Supported Device Orientations different from the fresh app.

Specifically, I had Portrait Top above Portrait Bottom. After I put the Portrait Bottom at the head of the list the problem disappeared.

Or so I thought. I reorganized the main folder and put all the PNG files into a Resources folder. Deleted the old references in the project and add in the new locations and now the problem is back.

Also, noted the problem is occuring on the actual iOS device. You can see in this launch pix the status bar and picture are both upside down. As soon as my mainView loads the view orients correctly and becomes upright in the Portrait Top orientation.

There has to be something about the project file that is causing this. Still searching.

Looking around I found [this2 which states the order is important and the top most is the inital view. So now I am really puzzled as the Portrait Bottom is at the head of the list.
