Question

how do you make an app ONLY support landscape? No portrait mode JUST landscape throughout the whole thing in xcode 3?

Answer 1

My naive answer is to add this method in all of your root view controllers:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation 
{
    if (interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation==UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
        return YES;

    return NO;
}

This is what I do in my game. Of course, my game only has one view controller.

Also, I found it helpful to set “Initial interface orientation” in my app’s info.plist to Landscape.
