Question

I have a UITabBarController app where one of the tabs shows the app settings. This is a UISplitViewController with multiple detail controllers that are changed out depending on what is selected on master. My detailViewControllers have these lines which allows the master view to continually show (or should):

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.splitViewController.delegate = self;
}

- (BOOL) splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc shouldHideViewController:(UIViewController *)vc inOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation {
    return NO;
}

Here’s my problem: If the pad is portrait as the settings tab is tapped, only the initial detail view is shown. Not the master. Rotating the pad to landscape and back, the master shows just fine and stays there.

I can’t figure out why this is happening. The XCode 4.5.2 master/detail template project doesn’t have this problem after I updated the detailController to not hide the master.

Any ideas?

To fix the problem, I had to do the same code I used in the original question, but put it into a subclassed UISplitViewController. Originally I was putting it into the detail view.
