Two-stage rotation animation is deprecated. This application should use the smoother single-stage animation

Question

I am building a ipad application. when the applications starts i show it in landscape Right mode. But as soon as the application starts I get this message

Two-stage rotation animation is deprecated. This application should use the smoother single-stage animation

I used this method in all my classes

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}

I also set my supported interface orientations (iPad) to landscape right in my plist file. How to resolve this warning message?

Answer 1

I just realized - after reading this answer - that I was simply using the Tab Bar Controller wrong: the tab bar should only be used as a root controller, however I inserted a navigation controller before it.

Answer 2

You can also get this error message if you've run the app with an empty tab bar controller as root in your storyboard. I was just starting on an app and my UITabBarController has no view controllers yet, but is presenting a login modal.

Answer 3

The problem is that your app is using one of these methods, which were deprecated in iOS 5.0:

didAnimateFirstHalfOfRotationToInterfaceOrientation:
willAnimateFirstHalfOfRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration:
willAnimateSecondHalfOfRotationFromInterfaceOrientation:duration:

You need to modify your view controllers to override willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration: instead, and to not override any of the "HalfOfRotation" methods.
