Question

My program uses a UISplitViewController as the root view controller. In order to get the split-view to autorotate when the device orientation changes I need to subclass UISplitViewController and have it return YES in shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:

Is there a way to have the standard, ie generic UISplitViewController, autorotate? It seems silly to have to write an entire new subclass just to support orientation changes…

Thanks!

Answer 1

UISplitViewController will rotate automatically as long as both of it’s child view controllers return YES from -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:.
