UIImagePickerController camera view rotating strangely on iOS 8 (pictures)

Question

I have a very simple application: - All orientations are permitted with only a button on a screen - The button show a UIImagePickerController (to take a photo)

Answer 1

I know it's an iOS bug, but i've implemented a temporary fix:

on the view that presents the image picker, add this code if you don't get any orientation changes events (or use didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation otherwhise):

- (void)viewDidLoad {
   [super viewDidLoad];
   // ....

   if ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >=8) {
       [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(didRotate:) name:UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification object:nil];
   }

}

now on rotation simply dismiss and represent your imagepicker:

- (void)didRotate:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    if (self.presentedViewController && self.presentedViewController==self.imagePickerController) {
        [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:^{
            [self presentViewController:self.imagePickerController animated:NO completion:nil];
        }];
    }
}

works a bit rough, but this is the best solution i've found
