UITabBarController Rotation Issues in ios 6

by

Zack, I ran into this same issue. It’s because you have your viewController embedded inside of a TabBar Controller or UINavigationController and the calls to these methods are happening inside those instead of your normal View (Changed in iOS6).

I ran into this issue because I was presenting a viewController embedded inside a UINavigationController on all my modal views that had Navigation to different views (Signup Process, Login, etc).

My simple fix was to create a CATEGORY for UINavigationController that includes these two methods. I have shouldAutorotate returning NO anyway because I don’t want my modal views rotating. Your fix may be this simple, give it a try. Hope it helps.

I created a category and named it autoRotate and selected theUINavigationController option. The M+H file are below.

#import "UINavigationController+autoRotate.h"

@implementation UINavigationController (autoRotate)

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
    return NO;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

@end

… and the category .h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UINavigationController (autoRotate)

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate;
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations;

@end
