Building for iphone & ipad

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

I’m developing (just trying right now) an app for iphone and ipad. I want to show the app always in portrait orientation in the iphone and in landscape mode in the ipad.

How can I get it? 

Thanks!!!

You would have to lock the orientation in your build.settings

    orientation =
    {
        default = “portrait”,
        supported = { “portrait” }
    },

Then detect using system.getInfo() if you’re on an iPad or not and then hand rotate everything when you’re on the iPad.  The other thing is to skip a Universal build and produce separate iPad and iPhone apps.

If I detect that the device is an ipad and then hand rotate everything on iPad, how can I see the status bar and native keyboard? Can I rotate these elements too?
