Does Everyplay support Landscape in iOS6?

Question

I'm integrating Everyplay with my Cocos2d Game.My game only support Landscape orientation. Everything goes well on iPad. But When i test on iPhone(iOS6),it throws exception as following when I call "[[Everyplay sharedInstance] showEveryplay]": reason: 'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'

I know orientation mechanism changed in iOS6.So i add this method:

-(BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
    return YES;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}
-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window{
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown;
}

Then "[[Everyplay sharedInstance] showEveryplay]" works without exception, but my game also support Portrait orientation that I do not want to.

How can I do if I only want to support Landscape in My Game, but let "[[Everyplay sharedInstance] showEveryplay]" works without exception?

You have two options how to fix the problem.

Option 1:

Add UISupportedInterfaceOrientations array into your game's info.plist with items UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait, UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft, UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight and UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown. You can easily do this from xCode by checking all Supported Interface Orientations from your project summary page or by editing the info.plist file manually.

Option 2:

Add the following method to your application's AppDelegate.m file:

// IOS 6

-(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
  return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}

In both cases you must also make sure that you have added the landscape only orientation handling code to your game's main UIViewController.

// IOS 5

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
  return UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(toInterfaceOrientation);
}

// IOS 6

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate {
   return YES;
}

- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations {
  return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight;
}
