Question

I am drawing a view on the iPad that only supports landscape orientations, however sometimes in the iOS simulator the view is drawn upside down and the iPad status bar is in portrait mode. When I rotate the device in the simulator, everything behaves normally, it’s just the initial load that is weird. I’m setting up my view using CGRect and use the standard iOS coordinate system.

My autorotation method:

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

Answer 1

Was that a typo in your code snippet; use “||”, not “|”, so:

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