Question

I’m pretty new to iOS development so please bear with me.

I am creating an app that I want to strictly be used in landscape mode.

I have edited the .plist file to include these two keys:

Initial interface orientation: Landscape (right home button) &
Supported interface orientation: Landscape (right home button)

And I’ve added the following code to ViewController.m:

    }

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

The app currently starts as it’s supposed to in the simulator. It starts up in landscape mode and everything works just fine. However, my problem comes in when press a button that takes me to another “scene”. The landscape mode doesn’t carry throughout the rest of the apps.

So my question is, how do I force landscape mode throughout my entire app?

Answer 1

You want to have shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: in each ViewController.
