Re: iOS7 broke Flex?

[Jeffry Houser]

 For my mobile game; this is how I fixed orientation issues.  This 
predates iOS 7 and I was using Flex 4.6 w/ AIR 3.4 superimposed on top 
of it; but perhaps the same approach can help


1) In the app descriptor file I set these values:
        <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
        <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>


2) In the main application file; I Set an applicationComplete handler:

Setting up the listener:
applicationComplete="viewnavigatorapplication1_applicationCompleteHandler(event)"

The handler method:
protected function 
viewnavigatorapplication1_applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
 this.stage.setAspectRatio( StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE );
}

3) In the main application file; I set up a viewactivated handler:

Setting up the listener:
activate="viewnavigatorapplication1_activateHandler(event)"

The Handler method:
protected function 
viewnavigatorapplication1_activateHandler(event:Event):void
{
 if(this.stage){
  this.stage.setAspectRatio( StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE );
 }
}

This solved the issues.  But, I honestly don't remember if I had issues 
on iOS or on some Android devices.

Tried this again last night and it looks like I don't have the auto
orientation on for the one app the user says is failing.  I may try turning
that on (as I'm already accounting for that in the app) and see if that
fixes the issue

Wow, that's very weird then. I am using currentState and handling
orientation changes, but nothing to force the orientation to one way vs.
the other. Just using certain views when oriented a certain way.

So I did some testing myself on and iPad2 upgraded to iOS7 and one app
works just fine, while other, which shares a very similar code base, starts
off in portrait (it's designed for landscape only) and then all the screens
are basically inaccessible.

One works as expected, the other is totally wrong.  My guess is that it
has something to do with how the apps were programmed to orient.
