Question

our app got rejected, becouse the app does not rotate in upside down orientation.

so we have an tabbar App, adding this code to all tabs…

shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation

makes no sense, add this code to a Appdelegate doesn’t helps, what we do wrong?

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

UITabbarcontroller is a subclass of UIViewcontroller. To solve you problem just subclass or add a category for you UITabbarcontroller implementing:

@interface UITabBarController (rotation)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation;
@end

@implementation UITabBarController (rotation)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
     return YES;
}
@end

If you want to make the tabbar only rotate to portrait and upside down just use th following code instead

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait ||
            interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
