shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation Getting called twice on launch

Question

I am working on iOS 5 targeted project. I am having the orientation method as follows.

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{    
  NSLog(@" My Orientation");

  return YES;
}

However, when my app is launched, my log message will be displayed twice on console, i.e. My Orientation will be displayed twice. I am testing my app in simulator and this is happening just on launch without even changing the orientation and then again even on changing the orientation. i.e.,

(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

is getting called twice every time, which I suppose is not a correct behavior.Any help is

appreciated.

Answer 1

This is nothing you have done. Apple has made the device react to this many times. It just depends on what the app is doing. Perhaps a view load, or something else causes it to fire again. However, is this really a problem? In most cases, it is not (Or at least shouldn't be).

If it really is a problem, then perhaps someone should elaborate. However, at least from my experience, this is common behavior. I am not aware of any way to solve this.

I suppose if this really bothers you and there is no way to fix, you could file a bug to Apple.
