Swift - Allow Rotation on iPad Only

Question

How could I allow my universal app written in Swift on iOS 8.3 SDK to support only portrait mode on iPhone, but both portrait and landscape mode on iPad?

You could do it programmatically

override func shouldAutoRotate() -> Bool {
    if UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad {
        return true
    }
    else {
        return false
    }
}

and then

override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> Int {
    return UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait.rawValue
}

or any other rotation orientation that you wish to have by default.

That should detect if the device you're using is an iPad and allow rotation on that device only.

EDIT: Since you only want portrait on iPhone,

 override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> Int {
    if UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Phone {
        return UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait.rawValue
    }
    else {
        return Int(UIInterfaceOrientationMask.All.rawValue)
    }
}
