Shazron Abdullah resolved CB-1841.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Ok,
I managed to run the 4.3 Simulator on OS X Lion 10.7.5 (in a VM), using Cordova
2.2.0 on Xcode 4.3.3. Aside from some Objective-C issues that I fixed (going
forward in Cordova 2.3.0 we are dropping iOS 4 support), I managed to verify
that the orientationchange event is indeed fired.
These are my notes:
1. orientationchange is only fired by us explicitly if iOS < 5 ( >= 5 it is
built in by iOS)
2. You must add the orientationchange listener before deviceready is fired
(adding it after does not make it fire, so there might be a bug there)
3. Your viewport meta tag must NOT have the value "height=device-height" value

> Key: CB-1841
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1841
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
>
> Going forward, we are not supporting iOS 4.3, but leaving this for the
> knowledgebase. This is from someone that emailed me:
> The problem is as follows: under 4.3 the orientation/fire orientation event
> is kind of screwed up (I’m using it with Sencha 2.0 and it works fine on 5.0,
> 5.1, 6.0).
>
> Starting the app in Portrait mode will correctly identify it as portrait…
> when you den flip to either side into landscape mode the orientation change
> is not fired and the app ‘thinks’ it is still in Portrait. Flip it back the
> event is fired again as portrait. If you start the application in Landscape
> mode though everything works fine. Orientations are fired correctly. I am
> currently partially circumventing the problem with checking the width of the
> window and see what it shoul be and resize accordingly.. unfortunately that
> doesn’t help me when there is no orientation event fired and just creating a
> check every second doesn’t really make sense.
>
> It looks like as if the webview thinks it is in Landscape during start and
> doesn’t fire an orientation change event when the pad is actually in Portrait
> mode.
