iPad always launches in portrait orientation

Solar2D Native builds
#1

According to the build.settings documentation (http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/distribution/buildSettings/index.html#auto-orientation)

“The iPad ignores the default setting and attempts to launch in the current physical orientation of the device, assuming that orientation is specified in the supported list.”

My build.settings and XCode include all 4 orientations. However, the app always launches in portrait mode, and then rotates to LandscapeLeft/LandscapeRight.

Has anyone gotten their iPad app to launch in Landscape?

Good news, it’s working now.

I didn’t really do anything except go to XCode and select MainWindow-iPad.xib. On the right side of XCode, under File Inspector, I changed the “Opens in” selection to “Default (6.0)” and then tried different options for Builds for and View as. Ultimately I reverted Builds for and View as to their original selections, “iOS 4.3 and Later” and “iOS 6.1 and Earlier” respectively.

Not sure why it’s working now but maybe XCode had to reset MainWindow-iPad.xib. It could also be related to the fact that I’m was building off an old (1.5 year old) Enterprise template.
