iOS 8 vs iOS 7 Autorotation - uiviewcontroller

Question

Here is a simple single view controller app :
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight;
}
The outputs are so different in iOS 8.
It's got to do with the difference in UIWindow bounds on iOS 8 vs iOS 7. How do I get iOS 7 like behavior ?

Answer 1

This appears to be a bug in Xcode 6 or iOS 8. After switching to storyboards from xib, the problem disappeared.

Answer 2

In IOS8 the list of possible orientations should be in the Info.plist file, the method shouldAutorotate return YES by default.
Take a look on the discussion and documentation below:

UIKit Reference:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIViewController_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIViewController/supportedInterfaceOrientations
When the user changes the device orientation, the system calls this
method on the root view controller or the topmost presented view
controller that fills the window. If the view controller supports the
new orientation, the window and view controller are rotated to the new
orientation. This method is only called if the view controller's
shouldAutorotate method returns YES.
Override this method to report all of the orientations that the view
controller supports. The default values for a view controller's
supported interface orientations is set to
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll for the iPad idiom and
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown for the iPhone idiom.
The system intersects the view controller's supported orientations
with the app's supported orientations (as determined by the Info.plist
file or the app delegate's
application:supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: method) to
determine whether to rotate.
