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

Here's a fix I've found by adding this category to UIImagePickerController:

@implementation UIImagePickerController (Rotation)

- (void)viewWillTransitionToSize:(CGSize)size withTransitionCoordinator:(id)coordinator
{
    [self viewWillAppear:NO];
    [self viewDidAppear:NO];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
}

@end

I realise it is hacky calling UIViewController lifecycle methods directly, but this is the only solution I've found. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon!
