For example I want my view to be portrait only on iPhone and landscape on iPad.

How to detect if I’m running on iphone or iPad in this situation?

Answer 1

Write this in your UIViewController:

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
        return UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation);
    else
        return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation);
}
