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

My solution is a combination of MaxK's and hfossli. I made this method on a Category of UIScreen and it has no version checks (which is a bad practice):

//Always return the iOS8 way - i.e. height is the real orientation dependent height
+ (CGRect)screenBoundsOrientationDependent {
    UIScreen *screen = [UIScreen mainScreen];
    CGRect screenRect;
    if (![screen respondsToSelector:@selector(fixedCoordinateSpace)] && UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation)) {
        screenRect = CGRectMake(screen.bounds.origin.x, screen.bounds.origin.y, screen.bounds.size.height, screen.bounds.size.width);
    } else {
        screenRect = screen.bounds;
    }

    return screenRect;
}
