What is the “right” way to handle orientation changes in iOS 8?

Question

Can someone please tell me the \"right\" or \"best\" approach to working with portrait and landscape interface orientations in iOS 8? It seems that all the functions I want

Answer 1

From a UI perspective, I believe that using Size Classes are Apple's recommended approach for handling interfaces in different orientations, sizes and scales.

See the section: Traits Describe the Size Class and Scale of an Interface here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewIniOS/Articles/iOS8.html

"iOS 8 adds new features that make dealing with screen size and orientation much more versatile."
