Question

I have a UIViewController with a xib and when ever I am allocating it, the view and width of the UIViewController does not adjust with the orientation I am in, it is always set to portrait. Even if I am at landscape. Why is this? Here’s how I am initializing it:

PNRWebViewController *wvController = [[PNRWebViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PNRWebViewController" bundle:nil];

    [self.view addSubview:self.webViewController_.view];

There are a ton of reasons why this could happen. Check out the official Apple Q&A Guide on the subject:

Why won’t my UIViewController rotate with the device?

• The view controller does not implement this delegate method:
  (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation;

• The view controller’s UIView property is embedded inside UIWindow but alongside an additional view controller.

• You have added your view controller’s UIView property to UIWindow as a subview, but prematurely released it soon after.

• All child view controllers in your UITabBarController or UINavigationController do not agree on a common orientation set.

• Overriding the -(id)init: or -(id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibName bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundle method without calling super.
