I had a rather unsightly UI bug that resulted in the initial layout of Warp Life's UI being all wonky. After some repeated testing I determined that it only happened right at app startup, and only if I was holding my iPod in an almost-but-not-quite level sorta kinda landscape mode.
I got the idea that it would stabilize the bug to prop my iPad up along the spine of a book, then oddly found that the bug never happened. Neither did it happen in the simulator. It seems that it only happened if I held the iPad in my hands - which have a pronounced tremor - at just the right angle. All of my view controllers have a "layoutItems" method. I check the device orientation then layout for either portrait or landscape. What was happening - I _think_ - is that the IOS would rotate my view, but then the default case in my layout code would be taken, which didn't do any layout. After finding that when the bug occurred, I had an orientation of UIInterfaceOrientationUnknown, I don't take the default anymore, I force either a portrait or a landscape layout. I'm not dead certain yet but I think I may as well have fixed another far-more difficult to reproduce UI bug. I got a lot of my code from Erica Sadun's iPhone Developer's Cookbook, which was very helpful to me however some of her code is a little buggy. After I have another look at her book I'm going to email her some patches.
