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

I needed a quick helper function that kept the same behavior as iOS7 under iOS8 - this allowed me to swap out my [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds] calls and not touch other code...

+ (CGRect)iOS7StyleScreenBounds {
    CGRect bounds = [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds;
    if (([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0) && UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation)) {
        bounds.size = CGSizeMake(bounds.size.height, bounds.size.width);
    }
        return bounds;
}
