Splash and orientation

I set up dedicated splash screens for all orientations using Default-LandscapeLeft.png etc. The problem is that when I launch the app in landscape mode- after it loads the correct landscape spash screen- it switches to the portrait splash screen for a moment- as if the iPad is being held portrait - before loading the app.
What am I doing wrong?

  • 1.8.0.v20111114103905 causes the same problem: app exits just after splash screen on iPad device. Even an untouched new Ti project does so!

  • It's a known bug, i think it's filed for 1.4, sadly.

  • I am seeing this too. Exactly as it was described a year ago by joe. Starts up beautiful in landscape then the image turns sideways to portrait and the app loads up sideways. After it is up if you turn it to portrait and back to landscape it works fine then.

    I cannot find an answer on the fix anywhere.

  • I'm seeing this issue also, all the way up to the continuous build of 1.8.x as of Thursday, August 25th, 2011. As far as I can tell, the issue did not exist in 1.6.2. I can't use 1.6.2 because of other problems, unfortunately.

  • Also seeing this. 1.7.2

    If the device starts up in landscape mode, I need my app to load in landscape mode.

    If the device starts in portrait, it should load in portrait.

    Pretty simple. Any ideas?

  • It seems that it's already fixed in 1.7.5 (tested in simulator), but builds with that SDK version don't run on my ipad device! It exits just after the splash screen. It's noticable, that 2 confirm requests for using the private key are coming up, when compiling with 1.7.5. in opposite to 1.7.3. Does anybody see a correlation?

  • Try using continuous build 1.8.0.v20110930164213. From memory, this solved all outstanding issues for my App and fixes the splash/orientation issue as well. Hope it works for you!
