旧项目在iOS6中无法旋转的解决办法

之前做的一个iPad上的app，在最新的sdk下重新编译，出现无法旋转的情况。查看了一些文档，由于iOS6在旋转处理的api有了变化，之前处理旋转的函数shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:在iOS6下无效，由supportedInterfaceOrientations 和 shouldAutorotate替代。

于是在对应的viewcontroller上增加了这两个函数，但还是无效。函数有响应，但没达到旋转的效果。

继续查找一些资料，在一篇文章中找到原因，由于旧的项目没有rootViewController，而iOS6判断是否需要旋转是根据rootViewController来判断的。

于是在代码中手动添加self.window.rootViewController=xxxViewController，（xxxViewController为启动的主界面）即可解决。

详细可参考以下文章：

如果你的 iOS App 支持随屏幕旋转而旋转，但是到了 iOS 6 中，发现这个功能不生效了，那么就要检查一下是不是因为旧版本的 Xcode 创建工程的原因。
但是在 iOS SDK Release Notes for iOS 6.0 中的 UIKit 一节中说到“Autorotation is changing in iOS 6. In iOS 6, the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method of UIViewController is deprecated. In its place, you should use the supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: and shouldAutorotate methods.”，并且详细解释中也说明了 iOS 6 中的改动：

More responsibility is moving to the app and the app delegate. Now, iOS containers (such as UINavigationController) do not consult their children to determine whether they should autorotate. By default, an app and a view controller’s supported interface orientations are set to UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll for the iPad idiom and UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown for the iPhone idiom.
A view controller’s supported interface orientations can change over time—even an app’s supported interface orientations can change over time. The system asks the top-most full-screen view controller (typically the root view controller) for its supported interface orientations whenever the device rotates or whenever a view controller is presented with the full-screen modal presentation style. Moreover, the supported orientations are retrieved only if this view controller returns YES from its shouldAutorotate method. The system intersects the view controller’s supported orientations with the app’s supported orientations (as determined by the Info.plist file or the app delegate’s application:supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: method) to determine whether to rotate.
The system determines whether an orientation is supported by intersecting the value returned by the app’s supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: method with the value returned by the supportedInterfaceOrientations method of the top-most full-screen controller.
The setStatusBarOrientation:animated: method is not deprecated outright. It now works only if the supportedInterfaceOrientations method of the top-most full-screen view controller returns 0. This makes the caller responsible for ensuring that the status bar orientation is consistent.
For compatibility, view controllers that still implement the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method do not get the new autorotation behaviors. (In other words, they do not fall back to using the app, app delegate, or Info.plist file to determine the supported orientations.) Instead, the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method is used to synthesize the information that would be returned by the supportedInterfaceOrientations method.

说明中提到，在 iOS 6 中系统会通过查询 rootViewController 来判断是否可以旋转视图，但是在以前，使用 Xcode 创建一个工程时，通常会有以下代码来显示主窗口：

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    
    // Add the tab bar controller's view to the window and display.
    [self.window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
 
    return YES;
}

在这里，并没有设置 self.window 的 rootViewController，而且在 MainWindow.xib 中，也没在连接 window 的 rootViewController 到默认的 UITabBarController。


因此，我们有两种方法来解决这个问题：


1. 在代码中设置 rootViewController

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    
    // Add the tab bar controller's view to the window and display.
    self.window.rootViewController = tabBarController;
    [self.window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
 
    return YES;
}

2. 在 MainWindow.xib 中连接 window 的 rootViewController。
