They have visual that shows what rotation are valid, one set for iPhone, one set for iPad - just point and click on the permitted rotations to enable/disable.

I'm under the impression that, that option is only to show in the app store how the app works, I don't think it changes anything in the code. Comments AlanMac have you tested that?
