UINavigationController setViewControllers autorotation issue - ios

Question

I present a UINavigationController with two view controllers in stack and present the last view controller first. And tapping the back button obviously goes back to the first view controller.
navCtrl = [[UINavigationController alloc] init];
ViewController1 *vc1 = [[ViewController1 alloc] init];
ViewController2* vc2 = [[ViewController2 alloc] init];
[navCtrl setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1, vc2, nil] animated:NO];
[self presentViewController:navCtrl animated:YES completion:^{
}];
The problem is that when I push the back button on the navigation controller in landscape mode, view controller vc1 frame is incorrect. The frame is (0,0,320,568) and is laid out in landscape mode. I am running iOS 7. The autorotation code is not invoked on pressing the back button.
Whereas, If I present the navigation controller with the natural order vc1,vc2, I don't see any issue.
EDIT: FYI, here are the -viewWillAppear and -viewDidAppear calls in vc1 :
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO
withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:#selector(keyboardWillShow:)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(keyboardWillHide:)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
NSLog(#"Frame = %#", NSStringFromCGRect(self.view.frame));
}
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
// Get status bar height if visible
if (![UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden) {
CGRect statusBarFrame = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame];
CGFloat statusBarHeight = MIN(statusBarFrame.size.height, statusBarFrame.size.width);
// Set navigation bar frame
CGRect navBarFrame = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame;
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES animated:NO];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:NO];
/*
navBarFrame.origin.y = statusBarHeight;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame = navBarFrame;
*/
UIEdgeInsets e = UIEdgeInsetsMake(statusBarHeight + navBarFrame.size.height, 0, navBarFrame.size.height + 12, 0);
[_tableView setScrollIndicatorInsets:e];
[_tableView setContentInset:e];
}
_tableView.rowHeight = 75;
self.spinner = [[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite] autorelease];
spinner.frame = CGRectMake(145, 200, 30, 30);
[self.view addSubview:spinner];
[spinner startAnimating];
[self performSelector:#selector(refreshData) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.f];
}

Answer 1

I found the problem. For some old iOS bug workaround which I don't remember I had the following line in viewDidLoad
[self.navigationController.view setFrame: [self.navigationController.view bounds]];

Answer 2

There are a few things you need to check here:
You said you already checked, but lets be safe - check the Auto-Resizing on the view.
Do your view controllers implement the following method?
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations;
Are you presenting the navigation controller as a child view controller? When doing that make sure the following method is returning its default YES
- (BOOL)shouldAutomaticallyForwardRotationMethods;
Check you are not adding child view controllers to the view of a UINavigationController as it doesn't forward the appearance methods, its best to handle that from within the view controllers on the navigation controller.
Failing all of the above you should put a breakpoint in viewWillAppear of vc1 and check its frame, if the frame is correct, but the navigationContoller.view frame is incorrect then you must check your auto-resizing masks.
