“Incorrect” frame / window size after re-orientation in iPhone

Question

Answer 1

I've been stumbling over the same problem and with some diagnostic work I discovered that the view's bounds and frame do not accurately reflect the landscape orientation in viewDidLoad (when the device is held in landscape when the view controller is pushed onto the stack), but do so correctly in viewWillAppear: and viewDidAppear:. I just moved my code that needed the dimensions of the frame/bounds from viewDidLoad to viewWillAppear:, and it worked properly.
