Question

strong textI have an iPad app which only allows landscape orientation, and launches in landscape orientation. I have a UIViewController and in the viewDidLoad I set the frame of the view:

self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 728);

In a touchesBegan function in that same UIViewController I print out the view:

NSLog(@"%@",self.view);

and when I tap the screen get:

<UIView: 0x37e370; frame = (0 0; 768 1024); transform = [0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0]; layer = <CALayer: 0x37e3d0>>

As you can see, the frame changes to [0,0,768,1024] (which is portrait iPad) instead of [0,0,1024,728] (which is what I defined it to be in the viewDidLoad method).

Why is it switching on me?

This is related to this other question of yours, no? iPad Landscape messing up touches began

Quoting your answer:
” is that, when defining the UIWindow, it needs to be defined as

self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];

and not strict coordinates.
