Launching app in landscape only mode

I've written an app that supports only landscape mode. For some reason, it is being very stubborn. It launches and runs great on the simulator, but when I go to launch it on my device, it will not launch or rotate to landscape mode at all. I'm running 5.1 on my iPad, and using Xcode 4.6.2. Here is everything I've tried after searching on this site for a solution:

  1. Edited my -info.plist and deleted support for portrait mode in the supported orientation interface options

  2. In the projects target, in the supported interface orientations I highlighted only landscape left and right

3 Added:

(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {     
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}

To my only ViewController file. It runs in landscape only on the simulator, but is being very difficult on my device. Does anyone have any ideas?

The method you added is only for iOS 5 or earlier. iOS 6 uses a complete different method. See the docs for UIViewController for details. – rmaddy
I'm testing it on a device running iOS 5. – Henry F
