Question

I realize there a many questions relating to this issue, however i have not found one that solves my issue.

To start, I have set this code in my menu.h

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {    
return YES; }

The status bar changes with orientation but the views are not rotating or resizing. In order to try to narrow down my issue, I decided to try to switch two views within one .xib based on orientation

    - (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(orientationChanged:) name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" object:nil];
     }
    -(void) orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)object
{
   UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [[object object] orientation];

    if (deviceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || deviceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)
    {
        self.view = self.landscapeView;
    }
    else 
    {
        self.view = self.portraitView;
    }
}

In the iOS simulator, the view definitely changes to the specific views. However the landscape view shows up as if it was portrait and sideways.

What am I doing wrong here? I can’t figure it out, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
** EDIT: New Code Below **
Okay.. my issue is that the view loads properly in landscape, it’s just sideways. So the Landscape view loads, just sideways. My revised code based on @Seega is:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [[UIDevice currentDevice] beginGeneratingDeviceOrientationNotifications];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(orientationChanged:) name:@"UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification" object:nil];

    [[TTNavigator navigator] setCustomTarget:self];
    [[TTNavigator navigator] setCustomAction:@selector(photoAction)];
}

- (void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    if (toInterfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || toInterfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)
    {
        self.view = self.landscapeView;
    }
    else 
    {
        self.view = self.portraitView;
    }
}

-(void) orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)object
{
    UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [[object object] orientation];

    if (deviceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || deviceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)
    {
        self.view = self.landscapeView;
    }
    else 
    {
        self.view = self.portraitView;
    }
}

Answer 1

Hey thank you all for your help. I had a friend help and am not entirely sure was the problem. I can tell you the things I know he did do.

1. Disabled our ads temporarily

2. deleted the second view entirely and went with native orientation and resizing

3. added this to almost every .m file.

   -(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {    
   return YES;
   

   }

4. As well a programmatically changed a few of the other views similar to this

   -(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation 
   {
        if (interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight)
        {
             if ([UIDevice currentDevice].userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) 
             {         
                  self.Button.frame = CGRectMake(27,96,86,86);
                  self.Label.frame  = CGRectMake(27,162,86,21);
             }
            else 
            {
                  self.Button.frame = CGRectMake(18,100,86,86);
                  self.Label.frame  = CGRectMake(18,164,86,21);
             }
        }
    } 
   

Sorry, I can’t fully explain the answer, I do not fully understand everything that was included in the project that affected the orientation. I am still very new to iOS development.
