This worked for me How to force a UIViewController to Portrait orientation in iOS 6
Create a new category from UINavigationController overriding the rotating methods:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return [self.topViewController shouldAutorotate];
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return [self.topViewController supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return [self.topViewController preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation];
}
@end
