Auto-rotating intro-screen not working [ipad]

[Danneman]

Ive got an intro-view that appears right after the splash-screen, and that is loaded from the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in the AppDelegate.m-file.

Problem is it wont rotate when the device rotates. This despite the fact that the splash-screen rotates fine to the selected orientation, and that the info-file supports all 4 rotations.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    
	[window addSubview:splitViewController.view];
	[window makeKeyAndVisible];

	// Create intro-screen, with some nick-nacks not included here
	CGSize screenSize = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size;
	CGRect screenBounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, screenSize.width, screenSize.height);	
	introView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:screenBounds];	
	[window addSubview:introView];

	return YES;	
}

Any idea as to what might be causing it?

It sounds similar to what I found previously. These may help:

I see - only a viewcontroller can handle auto-rotation of views, whereas auto-rotating the default.png is a totally separate issue.

I tried adding the introview to the splitviewcontroller instead of the window, and the auto-rotation started working. Problem is the resizing of the introview - trying to get the current screensize from the splitviewcontroller.view (see below) only returns the size in portrait-mode. Since Im getting my iPad in a couple of days I cant check if this only happens on the simulator and not on the actual device :/

CGSize screenSize = splitViewController.view.bounds.size; // ipad - only returning portrait-size
