How to iPad start app in landscape?

[johnqh]

I have an iPhone app which I want to make an universal app.

On iPhone, it should always start in portrait.
On iPad, it can start in portrait or landscape.

How do I do that? I already have the code in viewcontroller to allow landscape on iPad. However, it starts in portrait, then rotate to landscape.

OK im not 100% sure but i believe you have to go into your info.plist files in your resources folder, click on one of the rows and then click on the plus sign to add a row, now you can type in <b>Initial interface orientation</b> then just specify if its landscape or potrait

Find in your code

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return YES;

Chnage it to

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}

Or

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);
}

For landscape left
