IOS Landscape Mode not working OPEN GL - ios

Question

Ok tried almost everything and it didn't work.
I need my engine to start up in LandscapeRight mode, therefore i call:
//
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO];
The problem is that the rest is not rotated at all,
I managed to rotate the view by using:
[pExternViewController setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2.0f)];
But it doesn't work as expected, the Frame Buffer size is correct now:
FrameBuffer: width: 960, height: 640
Still you can see it is not 960x640, and i can't figure out why?

Answer 1

Ok, finally made it.
First add this key to your plist file (required)
<key>UILaunchStoryboardName</key>
<string>Launch Screen</string>
Screen Size definitions
#define SCREEN_WIDTH (IOS_VERSION_LOWER_THAN_8 ? (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation) ? [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height) : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width)
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT (IOS_VERSION_LOWER_THAN_8 ? (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation) ? [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width) : [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height)
#define IOS_VERSION_LOWER_THAN_8 (NSFoundationVersionNumber <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_1)
The window initialization
- (void) applicationDidFinishLaunching: (UIApplication*) application
{
// Start in Landscape
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO];
// Disable Auto Lock screen
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled: YES];
// Set Bounds with the proper screen resolution
CGRect screenBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
screenBounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);
// Create window and view controler
m_window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame: screenBounds];
m_window.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
// Create new view controller
pExternViewController = [SvgzViewController alloc] ;
// Initialize view controler with all pointers set up
if( [pExternViewController initWithFrame: screenBounds ] == nil)
{
assert(!"Failed to initialize screen");
exit(0);
}
// Rotate the window
[m_window setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2.0f)];
// Set the proper window center after transformation
m_window.center = CGPointMake(screenBounds.size.height/2, screenBounds.size.width/2);
// Add GL window
[m_window addSubview: pExternViewController];
//
[m_window makeKeyAndVisible];
}
At least no GL side change has to be done by doing it this way.
