Orientation error:'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'

Question

I am trying to force orientation on a view using this code.

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
    return YES;
}

-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft;
}

What happens is the view loads in the simulator in landscape and when I turn it to portrait the app crashes and I get this error 'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'. What I would like to happen is that when you turn it into portrait it remains in landscape and doesn't crash.

Answer 1

If you try to return NO in shouldAutorotate?

Answer 2

Have you tried

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