Storyboards orientation support for xCode 4.2?

Question

I upgraded to xCode 4.2 and it\'s new Storyboards feature. However, could not find a way to support both portrait and landscape.

Of course, I did it programmatically

This is an old question but I read this earlier in the day and then had to spend a fair amount of time work out a better solution. I came up with this solution from hacking up the Apple Alternate View example. Basically it is serving up a modal view for the landscape view.

#pragma mark Rotation view control

- (void)orientationChanged:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    // We must add a delay here, otherwise we'll swap in the new view
    // too quickly and we'll get an animation glitch
    [self performSelector:@selector(updateLandscapeView) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
}

- (void)updateLandscapeView
{
    UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
    if (UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape(deviceOrientation) && !self.isShowingLandscapeView)
    {
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier: @"toLandscape" sender: self];
        self.isShowingLandscapeView = YES;
    }
    else if (deviceOrientation == UIDeviceOrientationPortrait && self.isShowingLandscapeView)
    {
        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
        self.isShowingLandscapeView = NO;
    }    
}


- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
