Set Device Orientation

setOrientation in UIDevice is depreciate for iOS 5 and upper version. If we want to change or limit the orientation of current view controller. We still need to set the device orientation. In fact we still get 3 ways to handle it:

    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:@selector(setOrientation:)]) {
        SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"setOrientation:");
        NSInvocation *invocation = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:[UIDevice instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:selector]];
        [invocation setSelector:selector];
        [invocation setTarget:[UIDevice currentDevice]];
        int val = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
        [invocation setArgument:&val atIndex:2];
        [invocation invoke];
    }

 2nd:

objc_msgSend([UIDevice currentDevice], @selector(setOrientation:), UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft);

 3rd:

    UIViewController *controller = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
    [self presentViewController:controller animated:NO completion:nil];
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];

 The first 2 method may have a risk to be rejected. I'm afraid Apple may think it a private API. The 3rd method, ok, I agree it's not a beautiful solution.
