Support several interface orientations but stay locked in portrait mode

I need a way to do the above. I've tried putting

-(BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
    return NO;
}

into every one of my viewcontrollers, but it still autorotates when I tilt the device on its side.

Why do I need this? One of our partners has an SDK which requires us to support the other orientations (or else their app crashes).

So what can I do to lock our portrait mode in place and keep it like that?

Solution

  • I used a category to extend and override the UITabBarController, forcing autorotation off.
