In the new iOS 6 there is an Apple bug on orientations.
They rejected one of my apps and i started to study the crash...
Until Apple release a bug fix you need this or your App will be rejected!!

I discovered searching trough some forums that we can fix it in this way:

Add this code in the UntitledViewController.m near the shouldAutorotate...



Someone at Apple decided (IMHO as an error) to sign up the game center only in portrait mode.
So if you are going to use in landscape only put this fix.

If you wanna see it in action, run your project with iOS 5.1 and iOS 6 simulator, with AppGameKit 1076.


Edit2 : i done much other tests.
Finally if you do in this way, using the last template Ancient Lady suggested, all works ok for AppGameKit 1076.
So be careful to add the new fix!!

Long life to Steve!

Yes if you use only portrait is ok, cause the GameCenter try to show always in portrait mode.
The problem is that the reviewers don't know of this bug and explain themselves as it depend by another thing and send you out of brain.

Anyway for all the new Apps you submit add the fix so you be sure all will be ok.
Ah... don't forget to try it on the iOS 5.1 and iOS 6.0, and try your app on the simulator and device, as they fire different errors on the orientation (or sometimes work but in a different way).

Long life to Steve!

xGEKKOx, are you working in Tier 1 or Tier 2 and seeing this bug?

I am working in Tier 2 (with the templates I posted here) and have no problem with a landscape only app. It runs fine in all simulators (iOS 5.1, 6.0, iPad, iPhone) and on my iOS 6.0 iPad and iOS 5.1 iPod Touch.

My app flips immediately to Landscape and then runs fine.

Cheers,

I work only Tier 2 in Xcode 4.5
Be careful Lady, all developers have this bug, and it come out only some times and only when using game center.
If you use a different view controller for all the things you do maybe it will work anyway.
But better if you iclude the fix or you will lose 7 days more for a bug due to Apple and not to you.

You can recreate the bug using landscapes on ios 6 and start the game center with no login.
So exit game center and after run the app.

Edit : if you use more than landscape, change the mask in my fix with all or your preferred.

Well, since I don't use the game center, it isn't a worry for me.

But I will keep this in mind if I do add the game center later.

Thank you for the good information.

Is Apple aware that they've created a bug?

I read that they were been informed about this.
I wish they don't add another strange idea like this in next ios updates!

xGEKKOx any useful resources or hints of the best way to integrate gamecenter with agk?

there were a couple of guides, but i think they were too complicated and maybe it could be done more elegantly and simpler

Yes i have a personal mini integration, different from the one i posted in the past.
Directly to add in the UntitledViewController.
I open a new post and copy it inside.

Edit : Done the GameCenter post in iOS forum.
