Re: Feature proposal: mobileActualAllowedOrientations?

I was able to run a test in the simulator for an iPad and got the same results except that I could not lock the orientation (same on iPhone). If landscape is the only allowed orientation then it switches immediately even when the physical orientation does not match. On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 3:08

JLG... are you getting those pillow boxes with mobileSetAllowedOrientations set to only landscape? On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 3:08 PM Brian Milby wrote: > Some of this is already available at least on iPhone. If you set the only > allowed orientation (mobileSetAllowedOrientations)

Re: Feature proposal: mobileActualAllowedOrientations?

Some of this is already available at least on iPhone. If you set the only allowed orientation (mobileSetAllowedOrientations) to landscape then the app will immediately switch regardless of the device lock setting. I did not see a way to query whether the use has their orientation locked, but that

Re: Feature proposal: mobileActualAllowedOrientations?

This should be pretty easy... if the app is built to support multiple orientations the it respects the lock. If it is built to only support one orientation, it should override the lock. From the thread it seems iOS already works this way. I don’t think the app should have to do any checking for

Re: Feature proposal: mobileActualAllowedOrientations?

All of my apps are iOS only. And virtually all are landscape only. When the iPhone is set to portrait lock, my apps still open as landscape orientation… that’s how they were designed. I wouldn’t want the user to have to take the extra steps to unlock the orientation. II do have a couple apps

Richard, Our iOS app works in both portrait and landscape modes on the iPhone and iPad. With the device's software-based rotation lock (iOS Control Center) set to 'on' the app's display is locked in portrait mode and will not switch to landscape mode if the device (iPhone 6S and 10.5-inch iPad

Feature proposal: mobileActualAllowedOrientations?

I have the orientation on my phone locked to portrait. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who locks their orientation. LiveCode is the only app on my phone that doesn't respect a locked orientation, freely jiggling around as I rotate my phone. I can lock the orientation within my
