I just had a few questions: 1) As far as I'm aware, starting your app in landscape is against Apple's UI Guidelines. Yet there are so many apps that do. Has anyone had any issues with this, when Apple have reviewed your app? 2) How would you go about hard coding it into xCode to get the app to run ONLY in the 2 landscape positions? I've tried a few things I've found on the web but I can't seem to get it to work with my BT source code. Thanks guys, appreciate your help.

Could this be what you're looking for? Cheers Comments I think that on Xcode, in the summary, you have the option to indicate in what orientations should the app work.

I've tried that, but the app still launches in portrait. I'm pretty sure that summary page just tells iTunes Connect (and the AppStore) what formats the app is compatible with, and as far as I'm aware it doesn't actually modify the code. // J Comments MadRod, Yeah, that doesn't really change it...

But it does talk about a rejection though. http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=54B8A63D4130145&status=&searchInput=orientation&sortColumn=FT.dateStampUTC&sortUpDown=DESC¤tPage=1&doViews=1 Good luck.
