Is [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size becoming orientation-dependent in iOS8?

Question

I ran the following code in both iOS 7 and iOS 8:

UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation];
BOOL landsca         


        

Answer 1

You can use nativeBounds (orientation-independent)

nativeBounds

The bounding rectangle of the physical screen, measured in pixels. (read-only)

Declaration SWIFT

  var nativeBounds: CGRect { get }

This rectangle is based on the device in a portrait-up orientation. This value does not change as the device rotates.

Detecting the device's height:

if UIScreen.mainScreen().nativeBounds.height == 960.0 {

}

Detecting the device's width:

if UIScreen.mainScreen().nativeBounds.width == 640.0 {

}
