iPad splash screen orientation issue.

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I must, I guess, be doing something wrong.

I’ve created two images: Default-Portrait.png, Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png

I’ve create my build.settings file:

settings = {  
 orientation = {  
 default = "portrait",   
 supported = { "portrait", "portraitUpsideDown", },  
 },  
}

Just to note, once the app starts, everything works perfectly.

The problem is that if I start the app with the iPad in “portraitUpsideDown” mode, I’m still seeing the Default-Portrait.png instead of the upside down version.

Help? Please? Until I get this fixed, Apple won’t accept the app, and I’m already 1.5 months behind schedule on this silly thing…

I was doing something wrong.

It still seems entirely counter intuitive to me, but the upsidedownportrait.png image should be right side up. (huh?) I had it rotated 180 degrees from my normal portrait image.

(Not that it’s going to matter to me, it seems. It looks like the app is going to be labeled “objectionable”. Sigh.)

Yes, the upsidedownportrait.png image should be right side up. It seems the image is rotated 180 degrees when displayed on the iPad. I didn’t see it documented by Apple but I created a Hello World Xcode build and it displayed my two portrait splash images correctly (both were right side up).

According to the Apple documentation, it will use the Default-Portrait image for the UpsideDown orientation if that image is not present.
