I have made me app so that device orientation is portrait only, however there it still has a place to put landscape launch image. Will I have to have one? If so can I just have a rotated version of the portrait one (i.e. this will be sideways if the device is held in a landscape manner)?
You don't need to have a landscape default image even if you do support landscape.
If you are only in portrait, then a single image will do.

I have a portrait and portrait upside-down app. I present an imagePickerController and it allows me to take pictures which can be either landscape or portrait. after taking a picture, the imagePicker verifies if I want to use the photo that was taken. If I hold my device 'sideways' (in a landscape fashion), the image picker view will dismiss like normal and my original view controller will be displayed, except it is in landscape mode (including the keyboard). This should be impossible because my app only supports portrait orientations.
Any ideas on how to keep my app in portrait mode so that the UI doesn't get messed up?
This is my app before I open the imagePicker:
This is the imagePicker right before I dismiss it. although this screenshot is in portrait mode, please imagine that I am holding the device SIDEWAYS (landscape style):
This is the resulting bugged out screen, that I would like to prevent:
I would first check Info.plist and confirm that the orientation is correct and does not contain any landscape options for either iphone or ipad:
I use LaunchScreen.storyboard as my launch image. It works ok when the devices are portrait. When i launch the app on landscape mode on ipad or iphone7 plus whe image was stretched.How can i use two different image for portrait and landscape mode.
Thank you.
You can set another image based on the size class traits. Unfortunately this does not help with left and right landscape rotation (you can only have an image for one of them). Also it is kind of base on the fact that for current iPhones landscape can be detected by having a compact height trait. This may change in future.
According to my client's requirement I want to set Splash Screen orientation in landscape(right) then the orientation will come in portrait.. any idea how can I implement it?
Just rotate your splash image in an external editor so that is gets displayed in a landscape mode.
Just because you perceive it as landscape doesn't mean it's actually not "rotated portrait".
See your Splash Image will look like this:
Just rotate your image the way you want it to look like...
The iPhone only has a single splash screen, no matter which orientation it launches in. The iPad on the other hand will display a different splash screen image in portrait and in landscape mode.
If your iPhone interface supports both portrait and landscape then you must decide which way round you'd like to display that splash screen image. As Kanan says, design your landscape image (say in Photoshop), then rotate the canvas so that the image is portrait (but the content is still landscape).
I want to design a universal app that I'd want to support just portrait orientation. It's weird because Xcode allows you to select portrait orientation only in the target's Deployment Info settings (and in Info.plist), but reading the iOS Human Interface Guidelines, in the section regarding the launch images, I've found this:
You must provide at least one launch image. Typically, an iPhone app includes at least one launch image in portrait orientation; an iPad app includes at least one launch image in portrait orientation and at least one launch image in landscape orientation.
Does that mean that you have to provide a launch image in landscape orientation even if you only support portrait orientation? Or is it required to support landscape orientation in iPad?
Thanks
EDIT: It looks like it is not required to support both portrait and landscape orientations in iPad, though strongly recommended. However, it looks like, if an orientation supported, also the opposite one should be (portrait and upside-down, for instance). Is it required then to provide both launch images? (portrait and upside-down). Thanks again
It is strongly recommended that your application support all orientations. This includes portrait, portrait upside-down, landscape left and landscape right. iPad apps that require an orientation must support both variants of that orientation.

I have my app forced to be in portrait mode. There are only a few instances where I want to be able to show the app in landscape mode. I have this working but on a physical device forge.display.forceLandscape doesn't set the correct landscape mode (either landscape right or landscape left). The result I get is if I try to move the device from landscape left -> portrait -> landscape right, the screen is upside down.
This all works fine in the simulator.
Is there a way I can force a specific landscape orientation?
