I have a problem with rotations in full screen mode in a MPMoviePlayerController: When I rotate the iPad in full screen mode the views behind the movie player rotate too, but there isn't a status bar and all moves 20 px up.
If I show the controllers and the status bar before rotate (pushing the screen) all works fine. Instance of that, I suppose the problem is caused because there isn't status bar durning the rotation.
Someone can help me please? Thanks
Finally I resolve the problem using a MPMoviePlayerViewController instead a MPMoviePlayerController.
Durning the full screen rotation the status bar doesn't disappear and all works fine :)

This might be a silly question, but why in the world can't I see the the following button that I simply dragged and dropped to the view from the interface builder?
I am using Simulator iPhone Retina (3.5 inch) / iOS 7. When I try to scroll to the bottom, the scrolling ends and I cannot see the button that I placed at the bottom. Why is that? Thanks.
EDIT: I didn't do anything fancy. I simply created a new single view app, and then dragged the button to the bottom of the view on storyboard and then clicked run.
Storyboard simulate size of 4 inch display. When you run it on 3.5 inch display, content at the bottom of the screen will be clipped.
Just add constraints to attach button to bottom of the screen.
I am adding a simple button into a view on a tabbarcontroller to the bottom right of the view. This button is clickable only when it is on portrait, not when the app is flipped to landscape. The app is using autolayout, so I've added two constraints so it hugs the bottom right of the view on landscape and portrait. Horizontal space at 20 and Vertical space at 24. I've tried this on a UIViewController without the UITabBarController, and it works perfectly. But once the view is added to a tab, it stops working. How do I get this button clickable on both portrait and landscape?
This seems like a very simple setup, but I have no idea why this does not work.

I tried the same thing it works. Here is the sample code try to run it on your own simulator and on device.
Sample Project
I'm adapting my app to iphone 5 and I've got a problem. I saw all documentation regarding this and it didn't work yet.
I put the Default-568h#2x.png and everything resized successfully.
The problem is in the touch stuff. I've got a toolbar on the bottom and when I touch it nothing happens :( in the retina 4" simulator. Works fine in retina 3.5
In retina 4", if I set the toolbar in the inspector above 439 px in the Y position works fine. Anything below this makes my toolbar not to work.
As I said, I tried many many things unsuccessfully.
I'm using Xcode 4.6.1, I've got a Main View (not having a Window option in the Attributes inspector).
Thanks in advance.
Your window or the main view is not resizing correctly. Make sure you have set them up such that they autoresize in both directions. Try to set different background colors to your views to find the view that is not resizing correctly.
Ensure that all of your views are auto-resizing correctly to fill the screen. It sounds like the main container view you have isn't being resized and is drawing the toolbar outside of its frame. This will work from a visual point of view as UIView - clipsToBounds defaults to NO, but touches won't work outside the frame.
I'm having this issue with several screens in my app, but I'll explain what happens to my home screen. Hopefully the solution isn't as complicated as I'm thinking it will be. So my home screen has a logo at the top, a label(title) under that, 3 horizontal buttons under that, and finally, settings and info buttons in the bottom left and right hand corner respectively when if portrait orientation. In order to allow for landscape orientation, resizing masks were not able to achieve the look I wanted so I implemented the
-(void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
method with an if and else statement, the "if" uses CGRectMakes to draw all of the elements where they should go in landscape layout, and the "else" redraws them back to their original places when changed back to portrait landscape. This all works very nicely. I remembered that we had to be able to handle the double high status bar, so I simulated it to see what it would do to my app. When I am on the home screen and toggle it on and off, the autoresizing of the items(which are set to adjust according to the top of the view) work nicely, by slightly squishing everything down a bit, and not hiding anything. I can toggle it off and on with no problems.
Now here's the problem:
When I have the double high status bar toggled on while on a different screen, then go back to my home screen, the resizing doesn't happen, and it redraws my screen full size according to the coordinates and sizes I have in the method I mentioned earlier, so the settings and info button are drawn halfway off the bottom of the screen. Same happens when switching from landscape back to portrait on the homescreen with the double high status bar already on.
Similarly, I have a map between a nav and tab bar on another page. When already on the page, and toggling it on and off, everything resizes nicely(the frame of the map changes height and the nav bar moves down). But again, I have a problem when switching to that screen from a different screen or from the landscape orientation, because instead of autoresizing appropriately, the map view and nav bar get pushed down behind the tab bar partially, obscuring the google trademark which is grounds for app rejection.
Sorry for the longwindedness, but I wanted to clearly describe what circumstances cause this problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I don't really have any idea how to approach this.
I've been trying to track down this problem myself. I think this happens because the autoresizing mask is only used when views are resized, and not when a new view is added to the scene.
For me, I wanted a settings view loaded from a nib and added on top of everything else. If the double-height bar was in effect when the view was added it would run off the bottom of the screen. To fix it you have to set the size and position of the view yourself when you load it. This is the code behind my working 'goto settings' button:
- (IBAction) settingsPressed:(id)_sender
{
NSArray* a = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"SettingsView" owner:self options:nil];
SettingsView* settings = [a objectAtIndex:0];
settings.frame = self.view.bounds;
[[self view] addSubview:settings];
}
The important line being:
settings.frame = self.view.bounds;
Which, it would appear, classifies as a 'resize' and so the resizing-mask rules apply. I later added animations for the transition and it continues to work just fine.
Note: This method was in a View Controller.
My iPad app displays a movie full screen using the convenient MPMoviePlayerViewController class. I present it like this:
[self.hostController presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playerViewController];
And later, when notified that playing is done, I dismiss it like this:
[self.hostController dismissMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated];
It works fine, except when the user rotates the iPad during movie playback:
1- The iPad is in vertical orientation. My view is vertical.
2- The user starts the movie in vertical orientation. The player is vertical.
3- The user rotates the iPad to the horizontal orientation.
4- The player switches to its horizontal orientation. so far so good.
5- The movie stops, the player is dismissed, my reappears, the iPad is still horizontal, but my view has stayed in the vertical orientation is was in step 1. Now it looks sideways.
Of course, if the user then rotates the iPad, it's back to normal. My view then rotates normally as the iPad rotates.
Did anyone ever encounter that? An easy fix?
Thanks.
I've encountered this numerous times and it appears to be an Apple bug (and have reported it as such).
The only way (I've found) around this is to listen to UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification and UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarOrientationNotification notifications. Use the relative timestamp on these notifications; if they both occur within a second of each other, you can be sure that the status bar change is a result of the user switching orientations and not the media SDK changing the status bar orientation. Then, when the movie is finished, you can tell your view controller that it should rotate to landscape.
