iphone - Launching application in landscape orientation for IPad

Question

Facing one issue with launching application in landscape orientation for IPad. I have developed IPhone application which later I ported to IPad.

I have made setting regarding orientation in info.plist

[ UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad ] to support all orientation UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait , UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown , UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft , UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight.

but when I start IPad application in the landscape mode, it always start in the potrait mode.

Along this

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

{ return YES; }

help me, if I am missing something with this..

Thanks,

Sagar

here's something I also discovered: setting the initial interface orientation in your info.plist is being ignored if you have Supported interface orientations set up with another orientation in the first slot! Put your initial orientation there as well - and the simulator will launch correctly, as will the app. this drove me nuts for a long time!
