This code shows instrumentation to report the method call both in the console
log (NSLog) and
in a separate log file (just in case). I have tried it without the log file,
so it is not
something to do with the log file that is the problem. This is the code as
implemented in
my app's one and only view controller.
// Override to allow orientations other than the default portrait orientation.
-
(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
extern FILE *logFile;
fprintf( logFile, "Asking about autorotate\n"); fflush( logFile ); // DEBUG
NSLog(@"Asking about autorotate"); // DEBUG
return YES;
}

I have only one view controller, it is declared
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet PixieSchemeIIIController *viewController;
I temporarily added an extra retain for the controller, just to make sure. No
help. And I double-checked that I was
calling [super init] in my init method.

UISupportedInterfaceOrientations comes up in the plist editor as a list of all
four possibilities; UIInterfaceOrientation is not present in the plist.
Does anyone know just what object is sent the
"shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation" method, and how the OS or framework
determines where to send it? I suspect that information might help a lot in
figuring out what the problem is.
