Question

I’ve written a tabbed application with a few view controllers, and on iOS 6 it rotates happily in all orientations as I’ve got them all supported in the app summary.

My deployment target however is iOS 5 and I’d like to be able to rotate in all orientations on this too. I’ve tried varies combinations of:

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape;
}

But none are enabling rotation for iOS 5. Do I need to put this method in just the app delegate or in all the view controllers? Am I doing it totally wrong??

Cheers,

Chris

You can add this all your view controllers

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) || (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscape);
}

or you can edit your plist’s Supported Interface orientations
