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

Used slightly modified mnemia's solution, that one without iOS version check, using min/max on mainscreen bounds.
I needed a CGRect so got CGRect from mainscreen bounds and changed size.width=min(w,h), size.height=max(w,h). Then I called that OS-independent get CGRect function in two places in my code, where I getting screen size for OpenGL, touches etc. Before fix I had 2 problems - on IOS 8.x in landscape mode display position of OpenGL view was incorrect: 1/4 of full screen in left bottom part. And second touches returned invalid values. Both problems were fixed as explained. Thanks!
