Question

I am trying to control iAd size when starts from landscape or portrait. Problem is that device tells that is on landscape when is on portrait! How to handle it? Thank you

- (void)viewDidLoad
{

    //iAd

    adView =[[ADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

    adView.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObjects: ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait, ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape, nil];

    adView.delegate = self;

    if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([UIDevice currentDevice].orientation)) {
        adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait;
    } else {
        adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape;
    }

    [self.view addSubview:adView];

    [super viewDidLoad];
}

You almost always want to use [self interfaceOrientation] here.

Regarding why orientation doesn’t work, note the docs:

The value of this property always returns 0 unless orientation notifications have been enabled by calling beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications.
