IOS 7 landscape landscape app cannot access photo library

Question

I only have a landscape app, and whenever I access the photo library, the app will crash (because the UIImagePickerViewController trying to load in portrait mode). The app works great in iOS 5 and 6.

I get the following error,

Application termination due to the uncaught exception ' UIApplicationInvalidInterfaceOrientation ', reason: "Supported orientations do not have a common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate returns YES '

When I turn on portrait mode, everything works as usual, but I don’t want to turn on portrait mode. What is the workaround for this?

Answer 1

Yes, I have a similar problem in the application

you can add portrait support to the application, but restrict all other views to landscape support, mode, then the image selector will work

UIImagePickerViewController only works in portrait mode

to restrict other views to landscape mode support only, override - (NSUInteger) supported by theInterfaceOrientations in your view controller.

 - (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{ return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape; } 

Answer 2

Add the code snippet below to the appdelegate.m file. This will solve the problem.

  -(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window { if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) { return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll; } else { return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown; } } 

Answer 3

The CGAffineTransform UIImagePickerController property can be used to get the camera in the desired orientation. imagePicker.cameraViewTransform=CGAffineTransformRotate(yourimagePicker.cameraViewTransform, M_PI/2);

Alternatively, you can also use CGAffineTransformScale to apply a custom size to your camera.

Answer 4

You can just submit imagePicker with

 ImagePickerController *imagePickerController=[[ImagePickerController alloc]init]; imagePickerController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationCurrentContext;
