2011.645: iOS: Default.png orientation change + different system.orientation behavior

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases

I noticed that the ‘Default.png’ image now needs to be created in portrait orientation regardless of the default setting in ‘build.settings’.
Just wondering if it was intentional.

Also system.orientation always reports ‘portrait’ at startup, regardless of the device’s orientation when the app is launched. This will result is an immediate orientation change event.
Previously system.orientation reported the actual device orientation at app startup.

No direct problem, however my code broke and needed to be fixed.

Oh is that something new? Most of my apps have been landscape and I have always - the last several months - have saved my Default.png as a portrait image. It wasn’t like that before?

Not sure what the downside would be, other than forgetting to rotate it in Photoshop before saving it. Or is there a downside? [import]uid: 74844 topic_id: 16736 reply_id: 67734[/import]

No downside at all that I can think of.
Actually saving it as portrait is the proper way to do it. It matches the way Xcode behaves for iPhone apps.

…but somehow Corona managed to display my landscape Default.png image before… however this is a non-issue. I’m just saving it as portrait from now on. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 16736 reply_id: 67741[/import]
