wrong interface orientation or unknown

Question

The problem is this:

• I put the simulator in landscape
• I start the app
• The app is unable to detect the correct orientation, always unknown!

I have created a sample project that demonstrates the problem I have. Take it here

How can I solve that?

thanks

Answer 1

This isn't a bug; just use the interfaceOrientation property of your UIViewController to get the current orientation. That property is always set at app startup.

I recently wrote a blog post on this issue:
