Modern iPad apps (which support multitasking) do not support control of 
interface orientation – your application will have to support all orientations. 
You can opt out of this by setting an Info.plist setting that states that your 
application must always be presented fullscreen (I don’t recall the property 
off hand, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find it if you really need it) but 
the recommendation would be to instead support all orientations so that your 
application will participate in multitasking.

Is a portrait-only launch image possible?

[Charles Jenkins]

I’m developing my first iOS app. On the General tab of my app’s build settings, 
I have checked only Portrait as the supported orientation. When testing on an 
iPad today, I noticed that if I start the app with the iPad held in landscape 
mode, the launch image appears in landscape and of course looks terrible 
because parts of it are cut off.

The next screen that appears is my welcome/splash screen, which is very similar 
to the launch image; I meant for the transition from launch image to welcome 
screen to be subtle. But the welcome screen appears in portrait mode as it 
should, so the transition is jarring.

It is not possible to have a Portrait-only launch image? If so, where else do I 
need to look for settings controlling the orientation of the launch image?
