interface orientation in iOS6

I have to make some changes in an existing app. That app was last update in June when iOS6.0 was not launched. I am wondering how the orientation works properly on the devices running with iOS6.0?? As that build contains deprecated methods of oreintation?

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation

This method doesnt get called in iOS6.0 then how that app in app store is working fine in iOS6 devices? Additionally if i run this app from xcode using its code, then it doesnt support orientation for iOS6. Now my client is saying app on app store is working fine with orientation in all the devices and the new build is not supporting orientation. I know I can fix this issue by using new methods for orientation 

-(BOOL)shouldAutoRotate

but just curious to know how older app is working fine on iOS6 devices using deprecated methods when those method are not even getting called in when i run it using xcode.

The older applications were compiled using iOS 5.x SDK, that's why they can run fine on iOS 6, the problem occurs when you compile non iOS 6 compliant code with iOS 6.x SDK.
