iOS 8 size classes for iPad landscape [duplicate]

Answer 1

It seems to be by design (which I think we can all agree is lame). You'll probably have to resort to doing things in code for iPad landscape layout by checking something like

UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarOrientation.isLandscape

Answer 2

It appears to be Apple's intent to treat both iPad orientations as the same -- but as a number of us are finding, there are very legitimate design reasons to want to vary the UI layout for iPad Portrait vs. iPad Landscape.

However, I believe I have an answer for adapting size classes to do just what you need.
