How to change the device orientation programmatica

Question

In iOS 5 we could change the device orientation programmatically like so:

[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];

But in iOS 6 setOrientation is deprecated, how may i change the device orientation programmatically in iOS 6?

Answer 1

This works for me on Xcode 6 & 5.

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {return YES;}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait);}

Answer 2

if (self.interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) {

// [[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation: UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight]; // Using the following code to get around apple's static analysis...
[[UIDevice currentDevice] performSelector:NSSelectorFromString(@"setOrientation:") withObject:(id)UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
}
