Handling autorotation for one view controller in iOS7

Question

I\'ve read many answers on SO but I can\'t seem to get autorotation working on iOS7.

I only need one view controller to rotate, so I don\'t want to set rotation sett

Answer 1

You need to set the plist value to all possible values, then limit them as you see fit (in the Navigation Controllers and TabBar Controllers. From the UIViewController class description:

In iOS 6 and later, your app supports the interface orientations defined in your app’s Info.plist file. A view controller can override the supportedInterfaceOrientations method to limit the list of supported orientations. Typically, the system calls this method only on the root view controller of the window or a view controller presented to fill the entire screen; child view controllers use the portion of the window provided for them by their parent view controller and no longer participate directly in decisions about what rotations are supported. The intersection of the app’s orientation mask and the view controller’s orientation mask is used to determine which orientations a view controller can be rotated into.
