I have an application with a UITabBarController, each of the tabs has a UINavigationController "attached" to it. Now lets assume that the rootViewControllers (of the navigationControllers) in Tabs 1,2 and 4 only support the portrait orientation and have such a "shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation" implementation that only returns YES when asked to rotate to portrait. Tab 3 however has some viewControllers in its navigationController that support landscape orientation.
When I am in tab 3 now and move to one of the viewControllers that support landscape I am able to turn the device and the interface changes to landscape. Yet if I hit tab 1,2 or 4 with the interface in landscape mode, the interface does not get changed back to portrait but stays in landscape, despite the fact that the displayed viewControllers clearly only support portrait.
I am unsure as to what I am missing or whether this is intended behavior, I would like the interface orientation to switch back to portrait once I switch to a portrait only viewController via the tabBarController. The entire hierarchy is constructed programmatically.
Thanks!
