How Do I detect the orientation of the device on iOS?

Question

I have a question on how to detect the device orientation on iOS. I don\'t need to receive change notifications, just the current orientation itself. This seems to be a rath

There's a way to achieve this whether the orientation lock is enabled or not by using data from CoreMotion. This is the code:

#import  

    CMMotionManager *cm=[[CMMotionManager alloc] init];
    cm.deviceMotionUpdateInterval=0.2f;
    [cm startDeviceMotionUpdatesToQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
                            withHandler:^(CMDeviceMotion *data, NSError *error) {

                            if(fabs(data.gravity.x)>fabs(data.gravity.y)){
                                    NSLog(@"LANSCAPE");
                                if(data.gravity.x>=0){
                                    NSLog(@"LEFT");
                                }
                                else{
                                    NSLog(@"RIGHT");
                                }

                        }
                        else{
                                NSLog(@"PORTRAIT");
                                if(data.gravity.y>=0){
                                    NSLog(@"DOWN");
                                }
                                else{

                                    NSLog(@"UP");
                                }

                            }

}];
