Is it UIInterfaceLandscapeLeft (Home button on left) or UIInterfaceLandscapeRight (Home button on right)?
Note that the need is to support only one of them.
Old question!! Anyway...
As you can read here, you should find something like this in the documentation.
A landscape-only application should support both landscape
orientationsthat is, with the Home button on the right or on the
left. If the device is already physically in a landscape orientation,
a landscape-only application should launch in that orientation.
Otherwise, a landscape-only application should launch in the
orientation with the Home button on the right by default.
If so, UIInterfaceLandscapeRight should be prefered.

We have a Objective C app that uses a launchScreen storyboard. The app is pinned to landscape left or right in the general settings. What we see is during the launch, when the home button is on the left, the launch screen displays upside down, then rotates around.
Does anyone know of a way to have the launch screen respect the current orientation of the device?
I created an app with Swift and tested it out on my iPod touch. The problem is, sometimes I accidentally rotate the screen a little while playing, which throws off everything entirely. Is there a way in Swift to make it so even if the player rotates the device sideways it never turns to landscape mode?
You will want to
Click on the top-left corner (Show the Project Navigator)
Select the name of your project
See what is under General->Deployment Info->Device Orientation.
Adjust the tickboxes accordingly.

If you click on your project in top left corner and on the Info tab you can un-tick some of the orientation tick boxes to only allow Portrait.
It's simple.It's not on Swift though.Just swipe up on your ipod and a little tab should come up. Once there,a button with an unlocked lock with an arrow around it.Click it and it should become locked.Now,it won't turn into landscape mode when you turn it! :)
I know that we can define main orientation in iOS apps. However I couldn't figure out a way to do what I want: If the device is in landscape mode, start the whole application in landscape mode. If not, start it in portrait.
Currently, if I start the application after rotating the device into landscape mode, It opens in portrait mode than it rotates. Is there a way to start the whole app in landscape? (Already rotated window)
Yes; just indicate that you support all device orientations in your info.plist. You can see this in Xcode in your project settings under "General" in Xcode 5.
Quote from Apple's UIViewController documentation:
Note: At launch time, apps should always set up their interface in a portrait orientation. After the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method returns, the app uses the view controller rotation mechanism described above to rotate the views to the appropriate orientation prior to showing the window.
Im making my first app in xcode. I have set my supported interface orientation only to potrait. However, in one view I want to show an alert if the iphone is turned to the left (landscape left). Is there anyway to do that?
I have an app which runs only in Landscape mode. All working well. But I have few pop-up views like Apptentative feedback view and Twitter Sheet view, works great when in portrait mode. So how can I change orientation forcefully when loading these pop-ups and back to landscape when these pop-up closes.
You can't force an orientation change. You can only support changes in orientation. IE moving the device 90 degrees to the right.
