For first time my UIView always goes in Portrait mode...though i set to Landscape

Question

I have set my iPad app to Landscape mode using following code..

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
        return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
    } else {
        if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
            return NO;
        }
        return YES;
    }
}

When i manually rotate the simulator then it will go in Landscape and never goes in Portrait mode.

Just during Startup my app goes in Portrait mode.

How can i detect the Landscape mode only or How should i set to only Landscape mode???

I tried from BuildSettings too but unable to solve problem...

You most likely did not remove portrait as a supported interface orientation in your project plist file.

You can (in newer versions of Xcode) find it in the "Supporting Files" folder of your project.

Note that there's a separate setting for iPhone and iPad, so you could do the interfaces differently depending on platform.
