And to make the apps developers lives easier the Ubuntu UI Toolkit has
added a simple way to enable automatic rotation of an app depending on
the orientation of the device. If you are using MainView then simply set
the 'automaticOrientation' property to true:
http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ubuntu-12.10/qml/mobile/qml-ubuntu-components0-mainview.html#automaticOrientation-prop
Just make sure that your app layout responds well to size changes and it
is likely that it will also respond well to orientation changes
(changing the orientation is equivalent to changing the aspect ratio of
the app window, width becomes the height and height becomes the width).

Hey everyone,
We've just posted a blogpost with our latest chapter for the app design
guides; responding to orientation
<http://design.canonical.com/2013/04/responding-to-orientation/> - hope
this is useful as there's been many questions on the mailing list about
how to think about orientation when designing an app. As with the
guidelines themselves, this is an entry level guideline, so let us know
what might be useful to add / edit in the future!
Cheers!
