UIViewController+OrientationPermissions.h

@interface UIViewController (OrientationPermissions)
   + (void)setSupportedOrientations:(UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedOrientations;
   + (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedOrientations;
@end

UIViewController+OrientationPermissions.m

@implementation UIViewController (OrientationPermissions)
static UIInterfaceOrientationMask _supportedOrientations;

+ (void)setSupportedOrientations:    (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedOrientations {
    _supportedOrientations = supportedOrientations;
}

+ (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedOrientations {
    return _supportedOrientations;
}

@end

In your UIApplication delegate

- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
    return [UIViewController supportedOrientations];
}

Then on a desired view controller do something like

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [UIViewController setSupportedOrientations:UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll];
}

Don't forget to reset mask before leaving this view controller

Note, if you are using UINavigationController or UITabBarController, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/28220616/821994 how to bypass that
